None Of These Things Move Me

ACTS 20:24 NKJ “But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”

There are believers today, who are tempted to give up on their faith in God whenever the least thing seems to go wrong in their lives. The apostle Paul suffered many things: beatings, stoning, and shipwreck, yet he called them “light afflictions.” (2 Corinthians 4:17). No affliction was able to make him lose faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 4:8-9). We are in a battle for the hearts and souls of men. The devil is against us. While we know our victory is sure, we should not expect to never face obstacles or difficulties (John 16:33). We are soldiers of Christ and we are equipped to endure hardship (2 Timothy 2:3). We must hold on to our faith in God, no matter how things seem to be going at the present. Because of our limited understanding, our ability to evaluate things accurately is limited. Our wonderful Lord Jesus can be trusted. He loved us enough to die in our stead, so we could go free. We must be determined not to be moved by the things our enemy does to get us off our faith in God’s Word. Let us walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
