The Kind of Faith I Want

In Acts 20 the Apostle Paul was on his way to Jerusalem. By his own words, he did not know what was going to happen when he got there. He did have a sense that it wouldn't be good (Acts 20:23):
"... the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me."

Trouble. Trials and tribulations were awaiting the apostle in Jerusalem. But rather than run away, he faced it head-on. He went anyhow. His words are words of faith - the kind of faith I want. He said (Acts 20:24):
"But none of these things moves me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus Christ,
to testify the gospel of the grace of God."

"None of these things moves me." I like that. What faith! What confidence in God!

How opposite we seem to live.
