Things don't always go as we would like when we're in service to the Lord. Many times we have to adapt our plan as the Lord makes His will and intention known to us. Other times we have to be patient and wait on the Lord's timing. But there are also times when we, as in the apostles' example -- will suffer a disgrace for the Name -- and we just have to endure. However, if you have the apostle's perspective you will be "rejoicing" that you have been counted worthy and you will continue on -- as the apostles did -- day after day never stopping!
