Acts Eighteen

Paul seems to be committed to the cause. So far he has experienced court, prison, stoning, and running as if he were a fugitive. And though it may not have seemed like it on the outside, he was in need of some encouragement. In verse nine, the gentle word came from the Almighty. God's reassurance that Paul had been called to do something amazing had come at a great time. In the conflict with the Jews, Paul had taken a hit to the heart. Just as God spoke to Paul, He speaks to us when we are discouraged by the storms of life. He has promised us via Jesus that we will never be left alone in the field. He speaks truth into our hearts because He IS ALWAYS NEAR.
