For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.” Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!” (Acts 25:11-12 NKJV)

ACTS 25 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Week: The scriptures show Paul’s bravery and faith. He was willing to face death for his beliefs and allow God to defend his innocence. His strong trust in God encourages us all to stay faithful.

Every day, we encounter tough situations that test our faith. During these times, we might feel helpless or lonely, wondering if God has left us. But Paul’s story teaches us that God is always beside us, even in the darkest moments.

When doubt or fear fills our hearts, we can turn to God for help. We can ask Him for strength and guidance. Just as He cared for Paul, God will care for us too. We can be confident that He will never leave or forsake us.

Let us aim to trust God as completely as Paul did. Believe that His plan is good and that everything will work out for our benefit. Knowing that faith can carry us through any challenge.

Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You for the example of Paul, who trusted in You even in the most challenging of circumstances. Please help us to trust in Your plan for our lives and to have faith that everything will work out for our good. Give us the strength and guidance when we face difficult situations, and remind us that You are always with us. In Your mighty name, amen.
