No Matter What The Bible says, “And
as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth of these
things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing
was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me
this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up,
and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.” Acts 26:24-32 (KJV) A little
boy was eagerly looking forward to the birthday party of a friend who lived only a few blocks away. When the day finally arrived,
a blizzard made the sidewalks and roads nearly impassable. The lad’s father, sensing the danger, hesitated to let his
son go. The youngster reacted tearfully. “But Dad,” he pleaded, “all the other kids will be there. Their
parents are letting them go.” The father thought for a moment, then replied softly, “All right, you may go.”
Surprised but overjoyed, the boy bundled up and plunged into the raging storm. The driving snow made visibility almost impossible,
and it took him more than half an hour to trudge the short distance to the party. As he rang the doorbell, he turned briefly
to look out into the storm. His eye caught the shadow of a retreating figure. It was his father. He had followed his son’s
every step to make sure he arrived safely. No matter what God, knows and protects
His children…no matter what plan God has in mind. Will you trust Him no matter what? Daily Chronological Bible Reading: Acts 24-25
