Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Paul gets a HEART ATTACK not from clotted arteries, but from an emotional appeal from everybody around him. They are begging him NOT to go to Jerusalem because suffering, capture and other unpalatable things are likely ahead. The SPIRIT seems to have told everybody that trouble is ahead. Their interpretation of "trouble ahead" = DON'T GO dear Paul. This is wrong.
Sometimes the sovereignty of God involves a bit of trauma. His knuckleheaded friends were trying to commend him FROM troublesome sovereignty. True friends commend THRU trouble. The good news in the story, is THEY CHANGE THEIR MINDS, and think maturely. In fact, a group GOES WITH Paul, voting with their feet to perhaps join him in the suffering. Paul says, "I AM READY". Eventually, his friends say, "WE GOT READY."
May we all have friends like that. Friends THRU trouble. Share this blurb with a friend like that and then like this post, share this post, write a review and sign up for another tomorrow at bewithme.us
