Today's verse is Acts 23:11-12
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
We see that God had given Paul a promise, then the very next morning, men that think the right thing to do is kill Paul, but instead they are the very means which he begins to move Paull where he needs to be to testify to others in his name. Because of these men, who being against the true way of God, God used that others might hear, such as Felix, and Festus, and Agrippa, all the way to Rome, where he testifies not only to Caesar, but to many in Caesar’s household, as well as to Onesimus, and many others. Just as God had said. So here we have another example of how all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them that are called to his purpose. Amen.
To God be the Glory
