Week 8, Day 2 (Acts 26:1-11)

As he testifies before King Agrippa, Paul seems thoroughly aware of God’s sovereignty in his life and specifically in his imprisonment. His tone seems peaceful, at rest in God’s ultimate plan. His courageous testimony doesn’t sound fearful or pleading or uncertain. Deep inside, he is full of confidence that God is arranging the events in his life for his great purpose.

I can imagine how much more peaceful my own life would be if I were as tangibly aware of God’s good plan in my life. I could use my faith to be in such a place. God is certainly deserving of my trust in the small parts of life and the larger ones. Not only will I enjoy His peace if I choose to trust, but He will receive glory as well.

Are you trusting Him in the details of your life? In the frustrating moments of your day? Is He orchestrating things in a wise way for you? Let me challenge you to trust Him like Paul did!
