November 11th -- Acts 21:37-22:29
It's long-ish, but please read it!
This sort of story just gives me hope for those who are lost. Often, I think we get this idea that people are "too far gone" or "too lost" and can't be redeemed, much less really used for God's glory. However, we see a perfect example in this passage of just how untrue that manner of thinking is. God can redeem anyone, and He can use anyone for His kingdom. The problem never lies with how He made us or who we are - the probably is only when we set our hearts against it, or, rather, when we don't intentionally set our hearts for it. The dedication Paul (formerly Saul) showed when he went to what he thought was his own death for the sake of the Kingdom is the kind of dedication we need to have - relentless, strong, and unfaltering.
God bless! Shalom!
