Reading
SAA Notes
Paul was shipwrecked three times, but wrote about only this one time. What do you learn in this account of how faith has moulded Paul? Doctrine is just the clear knowledge of God. What doctrines would produce such peace?
SJA Notes
* Holy God, thank You for giving to us Your word each day.
“… And giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it [the bread] and began to eat.”
IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL.
Paul was bold and open in his practice of holiness.
He exercised his belief and took opportunity in the presence of all to given thanks to our Sovereign God for the food they were about to eat.
IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL.
This is a clear exhortation for us today, in the situations God arranges for us.
Let us be encouraged to take every opportunity, whatever the situation, to point to Jesus – The reality of His reign and rule over our lives.
* Gracious God,
Thank You for Jesus.
Thank You for this day.
Thank You for our daily bread, Your word, our spiritual sustenance.
Please help us to be clear and bold in our witness to You throughout all our days.
Amen.
