As Paul finally arrives in Rome, we are able to reflect on many of the themes that converge in this moment. Despite Paul’s house arrest, we see the continuing fulfillment of Acts 1:8, that the message of Jesus would go out even to the ends of the earth. We also see the power of the Holy Spirit, accomplishing what no person could do on their own. And we also see, once again, that faithfulness to Jesus does not mean smooth sailing. Paul is still a prisoner, yet is free to bring the good news about Jesus into the heart of the Roman Empire itself. Where might God want to use you to bring the good news?Looking for a previous devo?

Start here:https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/For Reflection:- What are you thoughts on Paul's journey from one who arrested Christians to one who iving under house arrest in Rome for bringing people to Christ?- Are there circumstances in your life that you have allowed to become barriers to serving God fully?- How can you find confidence and peace in Christ even when your situation is difficult or uncertain?- Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me remain faithful in all circumstances, trusting in your purposes and presence.
Two of the great symbols of evil in the ancient world were the sea and the serpent. Paul survives the sea in a shipwreck only to be immediately assaulted by the other, the bite of a deadly snake. The locals immediately suspect that justice has caught up to Paul. He may have survived the sea but he could not outrun his fate. The locals expect him to die. Instead, Paul is unharmed. What does this all mean? Why does Paul suffer such evils while living faithfully, and how should we respond when we face undeserved evil?Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend? Start here:https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/For Reflection:- What does Paul's experience teach you about the relationship between obedience and suffering?- How do you see God's protection and provision throughout this passage? - Have you ever had the experience of God's protection and provision during a difficult time? What happened?- What can you learn from Paul's willingness to continue serving others despite his own hardships?- Prayer: Lord, help me trust your faithfulness through every trial!
The entire book of Acts makes clear that following God does not guarantee smooth sailing. Paul's faithfulness to God meant being under arrest and sailing into literal storms, shipwrecks, and hardship. Jesus' promise was not that there would be no storm, but that he would be present and faithful through it. The peace Paul demonstrated came not from peaceful circumstances but from the presence of the God of peace with him. Even in life's troubled water, Jesus can be our anchor, our hope, and our peace.Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend? Start here:https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/For Reflection:- How does this passage challenge the idea that following God should make life easy?- Why is it important to distinguish between peaceful circumstances and the peace that comes from Christ?- What storms or uncertainties are you currently facing, and how might God be inviting you to trust him in the middle of them?- Prayer: Jesus, help me to seek peace in you rather than in my circumstances.

In this flashback to August 9, 2021, we find the Roman governor Festus at a loss. He has to send Paul to Rome but cannot imagine what the charge might be. Thankfully, King Herod Agrippa shows up, one who is familiar with both the Roman world and the Jewish world. Sometimes, we need a Herod who can help connect the secular and sacred worlds. Without these folks who can speak both "languages," the message of Jesus can be lost in translation.Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?

In this Throwback Thursday from August 5, 2021, Governor Felix refuses to take action on Paul's case. In the end, Paul had to wait in prison for two years! Paul wanted to preach, to share the good news, and to complete his mission to Rome. Why would God allow Paul to languish in prison for two years when there was so much work to do? Perhaps for Paul and for us, choosing to wait can allow God to accomplish other important work in, for, and through us.Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?

(In addition to Flashback Fridays, this week will also feature a Throwback Thursday and a Wayback Wednesday. New devos will return next week.)In this Wayback Wednesday from August 2, 2021, we see the Roman commander passing Paul off to Governor Felix like a hot potato, many miles away. Felix makes an attempt to pass Paul off as well, but he is unable to evade responsibility to judge Paul's case. No matter who is in power, they all serve God's will -- that Paul will be safely delivered to Rome to be God's witness there.Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?

As Paul stands before the Jewish council, he begins by stating that he has lived before God with a clear conscience. This angers the high priest, who orders Paul to be struck. Paul then shifts the discussion to the issue of the resurrection of the dead, a belief that divides the council: Pharisees who believe in the resurrection vs. Sadducees who reject the idea. The debate quickly escalates and the Roman commander removes Paul from the council. That night, the Lord appears to Paul and encourages him that he will now have the opportunity to testify not just in Jerusalem, but in Rome itself!Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend? Start here:https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/For Reflection:- Why do you imagine that Paul thought it important to assert that his conscience was clear? Why do you think the high priest was so angered by Paul's statement?- Why do you think the doctrine of the resurrection was so important to Paul?- What do you think and feel about Paul's strategy of dividing the council over the resurrection? Can you think of any application to your own situation in life? - Prayer: Lord, in difficult times, help me remain faithful to you and confident in the hope of the resurrection.
