I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome. (Acts 25:25)
Man’s Determination? God’s Good Purpose!
1. Who directs the cast behind the scenes? – The developments in history, the up’s & down’s in life – all lie in the mighty hands of our sovereign God.
2. Who coordinates all at the backstage? – Paul was put in jail, mocked & later pulled out from danger. He should have been set free after his defense before the officials. But our God has greater plans, He kept Paul in jail for 2 years where he could experience more depth in life & paved his way to further the gospel.
3. God orchestrates all – When the new governor took his seat, Paul appealed to Caesar. On the outside, politicians calculated to their best advantage, in reality it was God who maneuvered all.
His will be done!
Scripture of the day: Acts 25 (New International Version)
* Yesterday I had the opportunity to fellowship with Bible scholars John LAI & wife. They are authors of “Ten-Steps Procedures of Bible Study” (Chinese/588 pages), practical, insightful, yet easy to read. Vividly interesting, highly recommended.
