1 John 3:13 “Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.”
Expect opposition, even outright hatred from some people, just for being a Christian. As a follower of Jesus Christ, my daily choice is to live by God’s priorities, to pursue truth, to act with justice and integrity, to make no compromise with evil. These things will infuriate certain men and women who are blind to their own error and self-adoration. Be a Christian anyway.
Father, lead me today wherever and to whomever you want to me go as your representative. If I encounter hatred there, please give me courage, love, and grace. I know you are with me wherever I go.

A message to my readers: So far in 2021, the auto-posting feature of my blog has been inconsistent when connecting with Facebook and LinkedIn, requiring that I manually post on those social media sites. It’s not a sustainable way to run a daily blog. So, this will be my last week posting to Facebook and LinkedIn. I will continue to post on faithworkandlife.com and email subscribers. If you are a reader on Facebook or LinkedIn but are not yet receiving posts in your inbox, please make sure to subscribe (it’s free) so you can continue to receive these posts beyond the end of January.
