[God's sheep]

Jesus eternal promise for all who believe and trust His word is this. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Paul has to go through a hard time in his life. Lots of people persecuted him, tried to kill him, rejected by many and thrown into prison. God was keeping him from all harm. Why did God do this for him? Paul was a prayer warrior, he was starting Christian Churches all over the place, he was teaching, preaching and living and obeying God's word. A wonderful example of us to follow. You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence. God Himself was with Paul. God was keeping away from plots of men and strifes of tongues. Praise the Lord. If He can do it for Paul, He can do it for us.

Amen! Thank you.
