Acts 20:24
Excerpted from: Are You Strong in the Lord?We see Paul here in a situation that could not be much worse. Satan and all his forces are opposed to him, using communities and individuals, Jews and Romans alike, to cause bonds and afflictions for the apostle. So God's Spirit was motivating him, compelling him to witness in every city as the Spirit moved him, and he knew persecution and affliction were awaiting him. But listen to what he says.
So Paul is not frightened or intimidated despite the warnings of trouble. His only complaint is against his friends who weep and plead with him not to go forward. All Paul wants to do is to finish his race with joy. He rejoiced in his ministry. His joy was in God. He rejoiced that he who had been a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an injurious person was now an evangelist and an apostle of Christ.
His joy in this was so profound that even though he knew what was to come, he could still say none of these things move me. He is more than a conqueror. He has already overcome them. His joy in the ministry lifts him up above his difficult circumstances, allowing him to overcome and triumph.
