verses read: Acts 20:7-12, Proverbs 10:1
prayer: 10 minutes

In this passage Paul performs a miracle. A young man falls from the 3rd floor of the building Paul was preaching in, but he did not die! I guess that since it is in the Bible, it must have some kind of significance! The Gospel brings life not death!

Yesterday's messages from Pastor as well as Charlie were so similar! That God will send relief, send healing amidst the storms in our lives. The setbacks we experience are just temporal and God is always in control; but we must trust Him. Like what Pastor said, we can attribute the setbacks to God's discipline, God's pruning and His mysterious will. We will never know why setbacks like this occur, but God allows them for a reason.

A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. - Proverbs 10:1
