The great American evangelist D.L. Moody said that “The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.” Family, for those of us in Christ, we’ve all been called to the best work, and that is to proclaim the good news of redemption and salvation offered only through a right relationship with Jesus Christ! Yet in that best of works, we will—not might—encounter opposition. The devil is THE opposer to the things of God. That’s a fact. His protege, ‘the final anti-Christ’ “will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” according to 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
The very spirit of satan is that of opposition to the believer—especially when you’re making a strong impact in people’s lives for the sake of the kingdom of God. You can count on that! Opposition can be such that discourages anyone from continuing in the work that God has called us to. For a biblical look at strong opposition, I’d encourage you to read through the pages of the book of Ezra. Not only is Ezra an accurate look into spiritual opposition manifested in the physical, but it is also a fantastic look at God’s faithfulness to those that serve Him—you and I!
Yes, we will encounter opposition in this life. Yes, it can wear one down. It can even cause us to cease THE work.
“Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued…” —Ezra 4:24a
But God, right? The verse above doesn’t end there. The word following “discontinued” says it all: UNTIL! Family, we serve a great big, powerful, awesome and mighty God!!! He will see His work through. So, if you find yourself encountering opposition as I did this past week, and what sometimes seems at every turn and corner, know that will only last UNTIL we look to Him to strengthen us, encourage us, lift us up and remind us that He IS faithful to carry us through it all and draw strength from Him alone to complete the task at hand.
