202308.27 ACTS (PART 45) — OUR FUTURE IS IN GOD’S HANDS!

After Paul was in prison for two years, a new governor over Judea came to power. This man, Festus, sought to make alliances with other powerful rulers in the land who were aligned against Paul. From a natural perspective, this spelled danger! Through it all, like David, Paul would have trusted God and prayed, “They scheme to take away my life. But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. Make Your face shine upon Your servant” (Psalm 31:13-16). Our times/future is in God’s hand! We can face every new situation and challenge with utter confidence in our good Father!
