Praise Focus-Support from God’s Family

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus comes from Acts 28:15.

The writer Luke records, “And so we came to Rome. The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled….to meet us. At the sight of these people, Paul thanked God and was encouraged.”

On his voyage to Rome, Paul experienced dangerous weather conditions. He was refreshed at the sight of those who belonged to the family of God.

It is always good to recognize the blessing of sweet fellowship with other believers. Whenever they offer acts of kindness or hospitality, that is an occasion to be thankful to God. In times of trouble, the support from God’s people is a welcome sight that encourages us to remain faithful to God.

Support from the family of God is a reason to praise Him in the Year of Focus.
