Acts 14:22

New King James Version (NKJV)
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

Seeing an open door with windows in the back room at Larson's yesterday evening reminded me of this verse  & the fact that faith's perspective is that difficulties are opportunities and invitations to draw closer to God - to know that His way is to exchange intimacy with Him for the particular pain we are experiencing, "beauty for ashes", [Isa. 61:3]

  1. Another verse associating separation with a '22' verse:

    2 Samuel 17:22

    22 So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.

    Noticed when Insoo KIm gave another outstanding message on avoiding foolish living, living unwisely.
