Here is today’s Bible reading:  2 Kings 10:32-12:21; Acts 18:1-21; Psalm 145:1-21; Proverbs 18:1.

Acts 18:4 (NIV)
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

Not all of Paul’s ministry had instantaneous results.  He had to show up consistently and do the work–just like us.  He had to persevere–just like us.   May God give us the strength that we need to minister each day, even when it is a grind.
