Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him.
I don't think Paul set out on his first missionary journey thinking that it would involved almost being killed. No one sets out following Jesus with the plan of things being hard. But when things do get hard, does it mean that God failed? What about if things get REALLY hard? Every town Paul walked into he was mocked, and refuted, but every town he left there were disciples of Jesus left in the wake. How do we learn to trust God when things don't go as planned.
