Don’t worry when you meet opposition for obeying God. Worry when you don’t have opposition, because you’re probably not obeying God.

About This Quote

Nelson Mandela said, “Don’t worry when you meet opposition for obeying God. Worry when you don’t have opposition, because you’re probably not obeying God.” The idea here is that if you are obeying God, there will be opposition. If there is no opposition, then it means that God has already given the command and you did not execute it correctly. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Being obedient to God is the key to life and the source of all our joy and reward.
