Acts 5:38-39 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Thought for the Day: What Is Of God Man Cannot Be Stopped

Reflection for the Day: Only The Unwise Seek To Fight God

As the High Priests and the Pharisees sought to stop the disciples from sharing the gospel message they were cautioned by one of their own. He reminded them of all that rose up earlier whose efforts soon came to naught. He assured them as those efforts were of man, if these are also of man they too will fail. If, however, they are of God they cannot be stopped. What is of God man cannot be stopped.

It is essential that we recognize the difference of what comes from God and what is established by man. That which comes from man will have a limited life span and perish on its own. What is of God will continue regardless of the opposition it faces. Only the unwise fight against the things of God. What God has set in place cannot be overthrown by man.
