Turn the rick to opportunity

Acts 18:1-11
Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Chorintians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
The Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city."
Why?
Paul was compelled by the Spirit, he preached gospel to the Jews, but they opposed him and blasphemed, so Paul turned to the Gentile, he knew God's mission to him is preach gospel to Gentiles. Paul loves his people of Jews hope they can turn to the Jesus.
Paul did not frustrated to his way of preaching gospel, he turn to the Gentile is the way of God.
Paul was worked together with Aquila at their common trade of tent making. He was doing his best to convince both Jews and Greeks about Jesus.
How?
Follow the mission of the Lord and do what I can do to preach gospel for there are many people who need the Lord. Rick or frustrated is new opportunity. I am like Paul can work on weekday and preach gospel on weekend.
