“I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.” But when God saved Him, Paul recognized the fact that it was indeed the Lord God His Saviour who would stand with him through every trial, and who would strengthen him through every storm, and who would, one day, preserve him
“…unto His Heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” May God find us faithful in all things because we have come to realize that
