2 Kings 19: 14-37, 2 Kings 20, Acts 28: 1-16, Psalm 105: 1-11
Acts 28: 7-10 (ESV)
“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.”
Verses 7 through 10 from Acts 28 shows how Paul kept doing
the work of God when he was stranded on the island of Malta. The boat carrying Paul
was stranded was called the island of Malta. Paul did not let being stuck on a
strange island deter him from doing God’s mission. If there were people to be
healed, Paul healed them. No matter what circumstances Paul found himself in,
he was always focused on spreading God’s message and making friends wherever he
went.
Paul’s example shows us that no matter what unfortunate circumstances
we find ourselves in, we need to keep our focus on God and do his good work in
whatever gifts God gave us. If we have this attitude, we will always be participating
in God’s plans.
