Acts 23:11 (NKJV) ... the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."
Have you ever been unprepared for an event, one that caught you by surprise, one that you knew about, but put off. Tests, school projects, public events all seem to have the same affect if, we have not properly prepared. However, there are those times when we know we are ready, all due diligence has been expended and for the moment we are prepared for battle.
Paul is in the battle of his life, there are factions that wish to kill him even taking an oath of murder, plotting and planning to succeed. The Lord, as always has other plans that man cannot hinder, and the servant of God must go to Rome.
Friend are you having a difficult time right now, is the trouble of the day overwhelming, take heart if you belong to God, He has a plan that is unfolding for His Glory in your life. If you are still breathing, God is not finished with you yet, there is an appointment you must fulfill, your Rome is just around the corner and the God of Creation will work everything out just as He planned.
Heavenly Father we are not between a rock and a hard place, we belong to You, in You we are blessed in every place we turn. May we consider today and in every moment that follows, You alone are God and "All things work together for good, for those who love You and are the called, according to your Purpose." Amen
