    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>Paul was warned by the Holy Spirit not to go to Jerusalem but he was determined to go and he did go. He was there less than a week when he was dragged out of the temple and nearly beaten to death. The only thing that saved his life was the Roman soldiers that showed up because of the uproar. They arrested him and was taking him to the fortress to find out who he was and what he has done to cause such a ruckus. As they are about to go in, Paul requests that he be put down, he was being carried by the soldiers for his safety, and they sat him down on the stairs where Paul gives his defense to the angry mob that wanted him dead. Acts 22 and 23 is Paul giving his defense to the mob and to the council. His defense is basically his testimony of how he was converted to Jesus which you can read all about in Acts 9. We all have a story but are we all telling our story for the glory of God?

  <description>Ever heard anyone say, "Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it"? Paul was warned many times by the Holy Spirit not to go to Jerusalem and city after city the Holy Spirit warned him what was to come if he continued to go there. The Holy Spirit used people to persuade Paul not to go but he was fixed on his plan to go to Jerusalem and he said he was ready to die for Jesus if that is what was going to happen. Well, he was in Jerusalem for less than a week when someone spotted him, stirred up a mob, and they would have beaten him to death if the Roman army hadn't showed up! Why didn't Paul listen? He could have been used in even more greater ways for the kingdom of God! We are selfish people and many of us are set in our ways. We think we know what is best for us and we won't let anyone change our minds...not even God. Be careful what you wish for...
