DAILY SHOWER October 25, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The more you look, the less you see
Text: Acts 28:3-10 (NIV):
"28:3. Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand.
28:4. When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live."
28:5. But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
28:6. The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
28:7. There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably.
28:8. His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
28:9. When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
28:10. They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed."
SHOWER (Reflection):
When the Islanders were expecting the death of Paul, God had promoted him to a demigod. Wherever you are, what you do and whenever you want to do it, commit it unto God. The God in His infinite mercy, will surprise people on your head.
