What God has said, that will He do!

Acts 23 Be Strong and Courageous

How many times have you set out to do what you thought was God’s will and all trouble of all kinds come your way and you wonder what is going on? You wonder where will this lead? So, it is comforting to know that what God has planned, that will He do!

Just as Paul is wondering how this riot will turn out for his future, the Holy Spirit comes in the middle of the night to tell him: “Have courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.” [ Acts 23:11]

How interesting that Paul’s nephew was in the right place at the right time to overhear the plans of the enemy and how they were seeking how to kill Paul. What is even more encouraging is to see how the Commanding officer was willing to listen and then to take steps to protect Paul! Again the words of the psalmist: Be strong and confident,  all you who wait on the Lord. [Ps 31:24]
