You Belong

“…the God to whom I belong and whom I serve…” (Acts 27:23)

            In the midst of hopelessness and despair, God sent an angel to Paul to give him the good news of salvation on the shores of Malta.  I love how Paul refers to God.  It is so possessive.  Paul belongs to God, and God is Paul’s master.  There is such confidence in that statement.

            In your darkest hours, never forget that you belong to God.  If you are in Christ, then you are His.  We serve Him who holds our lives in the hollow of His hand.  He sees you, and He jealously guards that which is His.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Acts 27:21-32

Questions to ask:

1. How does this show the continuation of Jesus’ work now going on in the church?
2. How is the gospel, Paul’s preaching, and/or Paul’s defense received?
3. What is the Holy Spirit doing in this text?
4. What in our reading shows how Paul handled adversity and difficulty?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
