In one account in Acts, God sent a boy who overheard the plan of 40 men to
kill Paul. The boy told Paul, Paul had him ushered before the ruler to tell
him, and soon an army of 70 horseman, 200 soldiers, and 200 spearmen were
dispatched to usher Paul to safety in another town.
Another account tells about Paul on a ship at sea that was tossed and
destroyed by a terrible storm. Miraculously, all 276 men aboard survived,
including Paul. In both accounts, Paul was assured by angels of the Lord
that he would survive, and, in the second account, he was told none of the
men on the ship would be lost. Paul trusted God. There was never a doubt.
That trust overcame fear and gave him boldness to take risks. His total
obedience to his destiny and fearlessness of death enabled him to move
mountains of oppression sent to defeat him and his message.
The lesson? God’s plans for you have an anointing of protection. His CIA
officers are standing guard. Sometimes they are angels. Sometimes a young
boy. Sometimes friends. Sometimes you (for others)! He even sends His own
outstretched hand. Our good God is strategic. His plans for us will be
accomplished. We need not fear. (See Psalm 91.)
