Why are we surprised that the world hates us?
Didn’t Jesus tell His disciples what to expect when He sent them out?
Let’s pause and let the verses below sink in!
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.
You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak.
For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 10: 16-23 (NKJV).
We should be operating from a place of strength when daggers come our way.

Shocking scenes from Sunday’s Seattle Pride Parade in downtown Seattle:
Nude marchers pranced openly through the streets and around the Seattle Center area.
This public flaunting of nudity crosses a basic line.
Decent businesses and organizations should stop bankrolling these parades.
They should not sponsor or legitimize public indecency.
Full report with videos:

Never stop praying for world leaders.
God has the power to change anyone’s heart and mind. He holds their hearts in His hands and turns them wherever He wishes.
“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”
Proverbs 21:1 (NKJV).
Even when the world feels out of control, we can rest in this promise: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28 (NKJV).
Keep praying. God is still on the throne.
How have these verses encouraged you lately? Are you praying for the salvation of world leaders?

Our God gently reminds us of our true standing in the world—we His children are branches, completely dependent on the Vine for life and fruitfulness.
This powerful Word spoke to my heart this morning. 🌿
What does it mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts below.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
— John 15:5-8 (NIV)
