We have all faced opposition at one time or another. Some more than others. One episode that comes to my mind happened when my children were young. Nearly the whole family was at my mother's house and my brother was watching an R-rated movie on TV (lots of violence and cussing) and there were about 6 or 7 kids (my neices and nephews) in the living room with him. When I saw what they were watching, I told him the kids didn't need to be seeing that kind of stuff. All the kids started whining and he said it didn't hurt anything, so I made my children stop watching and everyone was griping at me about it, saying that it wouldn't hurt just this one time. It was hard to stand against that much opposition.
It is not always easy to stand for godliness. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" 2 Timothy 3:12.
If you focus on the opposition, you will become discouraged and neglect your responsiblity to God. What can we do?
1. Make sure that you are going the way the Lord wants you to go.
2. Turn your opposition over to the Lord.
3. Keep doing what you know the Lord wants you to do, recognizing that the ultimate victory belongs to Him, not your enemies.
