Today’s reading is Acts 28:1-15
“Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him. And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28:7-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Luke says, “the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured”. I love how God has a purpose in everything. Do you think these people were thankful that Paul’s ship wrecked? Or that he was on the boat to Rome because his own people wanted to kill him? God turns all things to His purpose. We never know if our trial is someone else’s blessing. If we keep a eternal perspective, it’s easier to see that perspective. Please pray that we and our friends “be joyful always”(1 Thes 5:16) all day today. Please pray that you can be a blessing to someone today.
