Event: Jews bring Paul to trial in Athens
S - Scripture
Acts 18 v. 17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid not attention to this.
O – Observation
Deliverance - when you don't expect it, and how you would not expected it. This is the very last part of the account of Paul and Gallio. (Acts 18 v. 12-17.) What happened was the Jewish people made a united front and brought Paul to Gallio for trial for preaching the Gospel. Here's what happened next, Acts 18 v. 14-15, "But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong doing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews; but since this is a matter of question about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves." Not what the Jewish people expected plus Gallio had his court beat them.
A - Application
Am I trusting God will deliver me?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Deliver me from my enemies. Love Will
