But the Lord stood with me and
strengthened me, so that the message
might be preached fully through me,
and that all the Gentiles might hear.
Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
And the Lord will deliver me from
every evil work and preserve me
for His heavenly kingdom.
To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
~~~Reflections~~~
Wherever we go, who ever we happen to meet. We have the assurance that the Lord will equip us with His Word. So that the message might be preached through us. He will stand with us, and equip us. So that His message will go forth.
His word does not say that we won't have obstacle , In this chapter we can see that Paul was abandoned by Demas. That must have been an obstacle. He had to send for Mark, for Luke was the only one with Paul. You see the Lord placed people in Paul's path, to send for Mark.
He will deliver us from every evil work. He will preserve us for His Kingdom. For His Glory!
So let us find strength in Jesus, Keeping our Faith. For these things are but a blink of the eye. Our real treasures await us, a crown of righteousness, on judgement day.
Prayer~~
Thank you God for giving us the strength to stand even when circumstances seem impossible. Thank you Lord for being strong in my life. We can never make it without You. Lord, We invite you into every situation in our lives. Your reassurance brings such peace to us. To God be the glory.
