Acts 22:30-23:35
Paul is under arrest and facing extreme opposition from his fellow Jews. You don't have to think about this too long to recognize that his situation is not a good one. But the Lord is with Paul through it all. "'Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome'" (vs. 11).
So how have you seen the Lord come along side and sustain you? How has the Lord helped you "take courage" in difficult times? Tami W.
The tribune sends two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to take Paul to Caesarea and to protect him on the way. We can be emboldened to take courage by the knowledge that if God is for us, who can be against us?
