Gospel Lk 21:12-19

The warnings of personal persecution and promises of safe keeping in a future world are given to the apostles and the crowd surrounding him. It could be just this way today. Many still persecute in their own name, and we have to reach inward and to Him for the faith and strength to withstand many attacks.

We die a little death every time our faith it attacked, but when we rise up and defend it we are rewarded and strengthened. “ … but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.”
