2 Samuel 21:1-22; Jeremiah 5:1-31; Galatians 6:1-18
A great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Corinthians 16:9
The foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened… Acts 16:26
God opened doors for both entrance and escape for Paul. In light of this, any fear of adversaries would not deter him from opportunities to speak the mystery of Christ (Col. 4:3) or to bring the faith to the Gentiles (Acts 14:27). Even the prison’s gates, when opened for escape, presented Paul with an opportunity to testify to his jailor and accusers. O that God might grant us discernment to sense each day’s opportunities. —David J. Reed
To live for Him who gave me life;
To strive for Him who suffered strife. —Author Unknown
