"For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.” (Acts 5: 38 - 39 NABRE)
Many years ago, I was discerning a very important project. After sometime, I decided to consult a spiritual director. He acknowledged that the project was tough. The only support he offered was the above Scripture (Acts 5: 38 - 39). Years after the consultation, I started to call the Scripture the "Gamaliel Principle" after the main character, Rabbi Gamaliel. The Scripture turned out to be one of my key Scriptures in spiritual discernment. I learned this life lesson:
1. If God is with you, it is accomplished. No matter the obstacles, delays,
disappointments or personal weaknesses.
2. No fear. No worry. No doubt as long as the Lord is with you.
"Wait for the Lord, take courage;
be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!" (Psalm 27: 14)
