²⁶ on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; (2 Corinthians 11:26 ESV)

What dangers do you face daily?

Paul faced many dangers in his missionary journeys. Some of the missionaries I know have faced dangers, there have even been times in my life where my ministry has put me in less than safe circumstances. But in all of these I knew Christ was with me and went before me, as He does with anyone trying to spread the Good News.

Most of our lives we will not spend facing apparent dangers, but you may be facing unseen dangers from the powers and principalities in the unseen world. In this way we can only rely upon Christ protection and in reality we should only rely upon His protection regardless.

We will face both apparent and unseen dangers in this life. Hopefully our ministry to the world will not take us here, but it may. In either case, we must stand boldly and learn to leave at peace when the world around us is hard or crumbling. We may not be able to face much alone, but in Christ we can face anything.
