SUP With Me: Words of Inspiration
Paul sought after by many attempting to take his life;
Paul facing all of the naysayers, persecution, and judgement;
Paul bound by chains yet the chains did not drown out his courage and boldness for Christ
Prophecy was even given to Paul through the power of Holy Spirit from a prophet named Agabus:
11He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own feet and hands, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him over to the Gentiles.’ ”
Acts 21:11 (CSB)
Even still, Paul with much courage, boldness, and faithfulness towards Jesus Christ:
13Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 21:13 (CSB)
Despite all the circumstances, Paul was determined and his mind was made up that the storm was placing him right where the Lord needed him to be. During his storm, Paul still gave hope to others, healed the sick, and proclaimed the gospel of Christ Jesus. He did not turn away in fear, he was not shaken by man for he knew that he was not forsaken. He knew that if God was for him, then who could be against him. Man did not stop Paul, but in fact his challenges positioned him into fulfilling purpose each time.
How will we choose to weather the storm???
