Acts 28

The very first line of chapter 28 verse 1 reads "And when they were escaped"...    Wikipedia defines escape as To get free, or to free oneself.

Over and over again, God has made a way of escape for me even though I thought I had it all figured out on my own.  I am certain some of you can relate. Paul was an example of this type of situation; uncertain of the means of escape or the outcome.  Be it through changes in jobs or unforeseen situations,  God always makes a way of escape for us even though we see no end result in sight.  God has us in His ultimate plan and will always provide a way of escape if we follow after Him.

When the escape is made and we feel certain that we are in God's will, we may get bitten (verse 3) by one or more of these unforeseen circumstances.  It's at this time that others will be watching to see how we react to the situation.  If we will stay on our knees and ask guidance from the Lord, we will portray God's glory to others. Only through prayer and obedience to Jesus Christ are we able to succeed as R.E.A.L. men.

God is our only escape in these times. Only He can deliver and provide a way of escape.
