Acts 14:22 NASB "strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”"I was enjoying a little time fishing when I noticed the young boy next to me having trouble with his fishing rod. I seen him throw his rod down and begin to walk away. I asked him if I could help and we began to untangle the nasty mess of his line. Today's verse speaks to us about strengthening, encouraging and and continuing through the trials! As we finally got the line straightened out, we talked about not giving up on fishing and how it can be a lot of fun even though we struggle at times - no sooner had we finished speaking when he pulled in a large fish and was overjoyed. In life, we will run across those things that snag us, but if we encourage each other, strengthen each other we will get though the struggles! Be encouraged and be an encourager of those in need, it's what Jesus would have done! peace, tom
