Philadelphia, the faithful church, who celebrated their weakness knowing that His strength would be made perfect. This was the church who lived faithfully before God. They did not receive a rebuke, but rather further encouragement to continue to step through the open doors. They were positioned at such a pivotal location to spread the Gospel and although it would have been easier to shrink back, they chose the narrow road, they chose surrender to HIs will and cause, they chose Jesus.

Many of us are increasingly faced with the persecution that comes with standing for His truth and not backing down. Be encouraged as you walk through these doors of opportunity that He will be your reward.
