Spirit Fueled Persistence
Acts 20:22-24 (NIV®)
Compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
Paul’s words in Acts 20 remind us what Spirit-fueled perseverance looks like. He walked into the unknown—aware that hardship awaited—but never wavered from his mission. His strength wasn’t rooted in comfort or safety, but in the sustaining power of God. Each trial only deepened his resolve to testify to the good news of grace.
Like Paul, we too will face challenges. The possibility of resistance, criticism, or suffering shouldn’t cause us to shrink back—it should embolden us. If we know difficulties are inevitable, we can choose to stand firmer, leaning on the Spirit’s power. Faith isn’t measured by how smooth the journey is but by how steadfast we remain when tested.
Let’s aim, as Paul did, not to protect our lives above all but to finish the race, complete the task, and live as relentless advocates for Jesus Christ.
