Did you hear about the tragedy of day one at the Olympics? The father in law of the current USA Men's Volleyball team was stabbed and killed today.
Be sure to remember his family in your prayer times. His wife, who was also attacked is in serious condition.
It's a shame that horrible things happen during an event that pushes such ideals and brotherhood. But isn't that the way it works. When you are doing good things, making positive strides, opposition will be evident. Opposition signifies that you and what you are doing is a threat to the dark/evil side.
This idea carries over to the spiritual side of life. When you are where God wants to be, doing what he has called you to do, you will experience opposition. Embrace the opposition. Allow God to help you through it.
