What About Us

What About Us

This section in Acts is important for the believer. It should inspire us to trust the Holy Spirit. God tells Paul not to be silent about speaking in the name of Jesus. He assures Paul that He is with him. 

What about us?

That same promise to Paul is God’s promise to us. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus says that He is always with us, even to the end of the age. 

We also learned in the book of Genesis that God was with Joseph in all situations. He does not have favorites. If He was with Paul and Joseph, He’s going to be with us. 

If you need more comfort, read Psalms 91. The enemy used part of this Psalm to tempt Jesus. It is a reminder about the promise of the presence of God in your life. Just like Paul was safe to speak freely in Jesus name, so are we. However, understand that “safe” in Christ does not mean without harm. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 18:9-11

9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
