Do not let Setbacks Stop YouWritten by Cathi Pope

type of prison that Paul was in, they consisted of chains, fetters, and stocks that were used as means of confinement. Now, given these surroundings, it would be understandable for Paul to just throw in towel and say “I can’t take it anymore, I give up”. Let’s be honest here, how many of us would throw in towel? I can honestly say, that I have never even come close to this type of a setback, but what little I have come across, I would “throw in towel” and give up. Yet, Paul did not allow these setbacks to disrupt him in spreading Gospel. He even expresses Joy while writing these letters. Amazing, isn’t it? Yes, but not impossible, I thank God for Paul who was an example as to how we are suppose to do God’s Will no matter what obstacle lay in his path. So, next time we remember, Philippians 4:13, really know it in your heart and soul that you will not let setbacks stop you from fulfillling your destiny.

These beloved church members were such wonderful persons, but as happens all to often, everyone really expected too much from Somebody or Someone Else. So please, If asked to take on a task or project at church, please remember that our dearly departed Somebody or Someone Else isn’t available. And pray for us, because now we need people to really pitch in to do things that Somebody Else has been doing for far too long and to pick up where Someone Else has left off.
