the energizer bunny.... on steroids

Name: Dillon
Scripture: acts 5: 17-42 today I'm kind of doing my soap on the whole chapter and it was too long to type out, so I'll just paraphrase it. basically in this chapter the apostles were healing people and preaching in the streets and were arrested and put in jail. an angel came and broke them out of jail and told them to go back and start preaching again. so they did. the high priest found them the next day preaching in the streets again. so they arrested the apostles again. they brought the apostles to the council. the council told them to never again speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. but they still continued to preach the message of Jesus
OAP: I find it amazing that the apostles kept on preaching the name of Jesus even thought the high priest kept telling them not to. they were even sent to jail because of it, but they broke out and continued preaching. this is why i titled this post "the energizer bunny.... on steroids". it seems like no matter how many times the authority told them to stop preaching, they kept on doing it. I need to remember to be an "energizer bunny" for God just like the apostles. They just kept going and going and going...
God, help me to be an "energizer bunny" for you

I like it! Sometimes the obstacles seem so overwhelming, and as you pointed out...God can help us to keep going.
