Event: Paul Arrives at Rome
S – Scripture
Acts 28 v. 15 And the brethren there, when they heard of us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage.
O – Observation
The importance of relationships. The importance of being intentional. That's what this verse reflects. These people came from a distance to visit Paul. A relationship where one shows sincerity in it, is willing to sacrifice for it, will encourage, energize the other person. One sided friendships don't work. Proverbs 26 v. 20a, says it quite well, "For lack of wood the fire goes out." We need to be the wood for our relationship with each other and God. If we don't "burn" for the Lord or our friends how can we expect to be close them?
A - Application
Am I adding fuel to the "fire" of my relationships with God and family and friends?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be intentional with all my relationships. Love Will.
