Today I read Acts chapter 18. It was a good chapter. It took place during Paul's ministry. There were few verses that I really liked (obviously. That's how it always is when I read the scriptures.)
9. Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision. Be not afraid but speak, and hold not thy peace;
10. For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
I just loved the "fear not" part the best. It made me wonder, was Paul scared? Is that why the Lord came to him in the night? It must have been, because the Lord knows what we need the most. I'm guessing Paul was nervous to go speak to these people, and the Lord gently reminded him that through Christ, everything is possible.
It was great to read those verses, because we all know how amazing Paul is in his ministry. And to read that he is a lot like the rest of and gets nervous and afraid sometimes, comforted me in knowing that I'm not the only one with struggles.
