I Love that by example Paul worked and taught. That he had a trade. Also, the intimacy in which Paul prayed and heard God's voice. He was no doubt focused though he was working his eyes and mind were fixed on the greater task which was to share Christ and bring as many people as possible to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. To me the Acts are examples of how we also need to be single minded. Maybe we are working in a bakery or waitressing or caring for a 2 year old yet to be aware of those around us. And their need for the message of Jesus. The stories encouragement. To KNOW Jesus. To live as a Christ One regardless of the consequences. There is no death for the believer. It is my only consulation. Sammy knew Jesus. He loved God and sought to live as a believer. Not only that but he lived so that others might come to know the love of Jesus Christ. For him death had no chains. I just miss him terribly. I Love You Jesus.
Amen
