After this revelation, Paul boldly stayed in Corinth for almost 2 years preaching and teaching the Word of God. Even when the Jews attempted to bring Paul before the Proconsul, Gallio, he refused to listen to the case. Proverbs 16:7 states, “When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies live at peace with him.” The very safest place to be is in the center of God’s Will.

Genesis 1:26 ” Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness’…”
We are the only creatures on earth that the Lord created like Him. When someone looks at you…they should see the Father. When they look in your eyes, they should see Jesus smiling back. The old adage is so true here – a apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. You are like your Father, and your Father is in you.
John 9: 35-38 ” Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when He found him, He said, ‘Do you believe in the Son Of Man?’ ‘Who is He, Sir?’ the man asked. ‘Tell me so that I may believe in Him!’ Jesus said, ‘You have now seen Him; in fact He is the one speaking with you.’ Then the man said, ‘Lord, I believe.’ And he worshiped Him. “
The beggar had been born blind, but Jesus had healed him of his physical blindness. But now we find Jesus seeking out the beggar again to offer him something far more important… something with eternal consequences. Jesus was asking the man to put his faith and trust in Him, and thus to be then healed of his spiritual blindness.
Lamentations 5: 19 ” You, O Lord, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.”
Over the course of time, kingdoms rise and fall. Mighty Rulers are in power, and then fade from history. But God’s all-powerful throne is established forever, His Kingdom permanently fixed and rooted from everlasting to everlasting.
I Corinthians 15: 10 ” But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect…”
Every time you discount the work of the Lord in your life…every time you treat with insignificance the miraculous things He’s done in and through you…you are maligning God. In effect you’re saying to the Lord, ” Your unearned favor towards me means nothing .” So today, think about just how far the Lord has brought you, and then thank Him…for you are who you are today because of Him.
Proverbs 21: 23 ” He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.”
You may know someone…it might even be yourself that’s developed this fateful disease know as Foot in Mouth. Some people are so affected, that the only time their foot comes out of their mouth – is to change socks! It takes wisdom and discipline not to just blurt out anything that comes to mind. It takes us thinking before we speak…is this appropriate?…is this kind?…will I regret saying this tomorrow? So much trouble and misery could be avoided if we’d just learn to think before we opened our mouth.
Jeremiah 51:15 ” He made the earth by His power; He founded the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.”
At that pivotal moment…at the beginning of time…God brought into existence the heavens and earth. He created the world and everything within it, and stretched out the heavens like a tent across the sky. In God’s infinite intelligence and knowledge, all was called into being…where there had been nothing before.
I Thessalonians 3:13 ” May He strengthen your heart so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy ones.”
While the authority of Jesus may go totally unnoticed and often maligned by the world today, it’s not a matter of if…but rather when His return will take place. And on that magnificent Second Coming of Christ Jesus, His power and glory will be revealed to all the earth.
Proverbs 16:33 ” The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”
We may think that all things happen by chance, and that fate or destiny are the authors of our life story. But this scripture says quite the opposite. It’s not just luck or happenstance that governs our lives and determines our moves…it’s God Himself making those judgment calls…and luck has nothing to do with it.
II Thessalonians 1:11 ” …we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.”
In the Lord’s eyes your life has ultimate purpose…and through Him, it will be brought to fruition, for His glory. Even when you think your life lacks worth and focus…God is ever working to show the plans,goals, and objectives He has for you to accomplish for Him.
