“‘For God is my [Paul] witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some […]

“‘To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world’” (Romans 1:7, 8 KJV).  Father in Heaven, do […]

“‘Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves’” (Acts 28:28, 29 KJV).  Father, thank You for giving those of us who are Gentiles also an opportunity to […]

“‘Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I [Paul) believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island’” (Acts 27:25, 26 KJV). Father, You told the Angel to tell Paul that the sailors would not die on that ship. This is a miracle of miracles that […]

“‘And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself’” (Acts 27:3 KJV).  Father, even in our darkest time, if we seek You, we will see the blessings. We will see the comforts that help us bear the burdens. Thank You, […]

“‘To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me’” (Acts 26:18 KJV).  Father God, You are above all. Satan has power but You have much, much […]

“‘So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man’” (Acts 24:16 ESV). Father God, as Paul practiced this, please help us to remember daily to take great pains to confess our sins. In Jesus’ holy name, we ask. AmenBlessed day~
