”Having therefore obtained help of God” [Acts 26:22]
December 23
”Having therefore obtained help of God”. Paul had gone a long way since his Saul of Tarsus days!
He had obeyed the vision God gave him on the Damascus Road, as he told King Agrippa. He had found what all who follow the Lord find – once you begin to obey the Lord He gives you all you need.
It is not whether you consider the path ahead too steep or the task too difficult but whether you will obey and begin that counts. God gives you all the strength you need for the first step and when you have taken that He will give grace and strength for the second and so on. Paul’s testimony as he began the last of his many journeys was that it was only by God’s help he had reached that point. It is the same for all of us. Be among those who draw on this strength day by day.
