Act 23:11 The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome."
God's words to Paul in the midst of this stuff. Take courage. God knows what Paul is going through and perhaps even as Christ knows the personal pain and suffering of going through a trial. Jesus knows the exact words that would encourage the brother through his trial.
I understand that Jesus was fully man on this earth, but on some levels it's just difficult to grasp that He went through everything that we have except without sin. He knows my thoughts and needs. While that can sound cheesy, it's the truth. We are not without a sympathetic interceeder in our lives in every situation that comes our way.
What a great and awesome God that we have, that we can look to in a time of time of need. He is faithful to provide for our every need. Father, would I look to you each and every time for insight and help for you know me. Thank you. Amen..
