Key veses --> 26:17-18, 26:19, 26:22, 26:29
yet another day of learning! indeed God is teaching me yet more about His faithfulness and Hs great plans, acts 26 actually has a grea deal of lessons to be learnt. for one, it is constantly reminding me or rather reminded me that God can use anyone. even someone that hates Him! people like Saul and Moses.
From verses 12-18 it tells me the story of how God changed and showed sal the way. indeed if he can use Saul, God can use me! i want to be whole-heartedly and truely committed to God in all things, especially my thought life. i want to be fully committed to God and His plan for me.
Verses 17-18 also once again tellls nd shows me how God has a plan for you. it shows how he know best and will protect us from all things. He will not let anything that He does not want to happen to us befall us. to put it in its most basic and simple terms, when God asks us to do something, He has already prepared the way. we only need to trust in Him. as it was said in verse 17 that He would rescue paul from His own people. that is he promise of protection over paulso that paul can do God's work. Inthe same way, i have trust that God has already prepared the way for me inOCS. He ill ony allow that which is beneficial to me to befall me for ultimatly it is His will that i seek to fufill.
Verse 19 reminds m that i have to be obedient to God's will. which means that even if God chooses or me to go or not to go into fulltime, i will obey. i just have to follow His will for my life.
Verse 22, a simple verse that remind and encourages me for i know that my source of strength and courage is Christ alone! for in the vese it says that paul had God's help to that very day. that tells us three things,
1. God kept His promise in verse 17.
2. God protects and honours us as we do His work. Protecting not only in the meaning of physical protection but rather more like giving us the assurance that He is in control and that even if we do get hurt physically, we know that He will not allow anything that He doesnt want to happen happen to us.
3. We like paul should give all glory and honour to God! we should trust and depend on Him completely!
Verse 29 tells me a very simple thing. that like paul i should have a heartfor the people around me, not just those i know and like but all those who are around me. the people i dont know and the people i dont really like. i guesswhen put into context of my life it means to be a light for Christ! which connects to my last two quiet times!
Lesson of the da: when God calls, He has already prepared the way, we only need to trust Him and follow!
