Day 5: Perseverance in the Face of Opposition
Reading: Acts 5:27-42
Devotional: Jesus prepared His disciples for persecution, assuring them of the Holy Spirit's help in times of trial. Today's passage shows the early apostles living out this reality. As you read, consider the courage and conviction displayed by Peter and the other apostles. How does their example challenge your own willingness to stand firm in your faith, even when faced with opposition or ridicule? Reflect on areas in your life where you might be tempted to compromise your witness for Christ out of fear or a desire for acceptance. Pray for the Holy Spirit's empowerment to boldly live out your faith, trusting in God's presence and help in every situation.
