Paul's obedience to God was amazing. Even while being persecuted he was still doing God’s will. Paul was being obedient and doing what he was being called to do because he KNEW God.

He did not always see the fruits of his work because sometimes he was called to just walk away. He knew when to leave the rest to God. He knew it wasn’t his responsibility to convert – but to be a conduit.

How do we respond to persecution and rejection? Do we know when to just dust off our feet and walk away?

When people reject us we need to remember that their response is not our responsibility.

A nugget of truth from Joy – Rejection is really God’s protection putting us in a new direction.
