Good morning fellow sojourners on this planet, Odie here.
I have been enjoying the dickens out of our study of the apostle Paul. Not only have I been learning how to RE-ENGAGE when I want to go hide or give up after facing drama and difficulties, but here’s another thought:
Even though it was prophesied that Paul was going to have big trouble in Jerusalem, he went anyway.
Have you ever had to step into a situation where you knew it was going to be really bad, but you knew you had to do it anyway? Yep. Very uncomfortable. Been there done that. It was rough. But in that uncomfortable situation, Paul had the opportunity to share his spiritual journey not only with the local authorities, but he was also heard by a variety of other folks who would have gathered at these events. We will probably never know, until we see the Lord, who heard his oration and what the results were.
But it doesn’t matter. God knows. And He knows about our situations. And He knows how to use them.
Odie
