Paul's enemies are getting tough! Over 40 of them "formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul". In fact they came up with a plot to ambush his arrival at their contrived trial. (Acts 23:12-35)
However, this enemy force did not reckon with God's hand over Paul: "But the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul." Then our guy had his nephew tell the commander of the plot.
Yeah! God then used this commander to effect Paul's escape by night surrounded by 270 guards to Caesarea. And our missionary arrived safely on horseback at Herod's Praetorium.
God's sovereignty and protection are once again seen! May we today rejoice and expect to see God's hand in our own life.
