Sorry I am a little late this morning. We are almost finished with Acts and Paul is just now getting ready to begin another phase of his life. When you think about all he has gone thru in Acts that has equiped him to write the next books of the Bible, you really see how God uses everything in our lives for good. I love how he was the stable rock these sailors leaned on in their time of trouble too. He kept reasurring them that the Lord had promised him they would all be ok and it was his confidence in his Lord that brought them peace and the willingness to listen to him. It made me see that if I was more confident in what I believed the Lord told me and His ways, people will have more trust in me and my Lord. I have to be pursuaded and then that helps persuade others. All 276 of them were encouraged and they lived and didn't die.
Thanks so much for the comments this week. They have really brought to light some interesting things as we read Acts together. One more day to go!

Paul knew God's voice, so spoke with confidence, knowing that God would do what He said. Paul's words brought hope, where there was no hope, and encouragement.
It's amazing how his persuasion persuaded so many others! Pretty awesome the kind of impact we have by doing what God has called us to do and doing it without compromise and with persuasion.
