Acts 28:1-31 Ephesians 1&2

Ok so this is my first very late post on this blog! So today I read Acts 28:1-31 and then Ephesians 1-2!

In Acts it talks about how paul is shipwrecked on Malta, then he gets bitten by a poisonous snake and yet he isn't harmed at all! All the people around him thought that he was going to die and yet his hand didn't even become enflamed! How awesome is our God, we truly have nothing to fear! The snake had now power over Paul, it could not harm him! I have a massive fear of snakes but this is a remionder to me that I need to fear nothing when I am in Christ, except God Himself!

When paul gets to Rome he is there under house arrest awaiting his appeal to Ceasar, and yet even when under arrest it amazing me to see just how many people Paul can reach and minister to. It is truly awesome how God can use any situation we are in! It also spoke to me that we may sometimes find oursleves in unlikey situations or not be able to see how God can use them and yet God can use any situation, any place and any time to see the advancing of His glorious kingdom!

Ephesians 1 and 2 are just amazing chapters to look over to remind us of the wonderous love of God, His grace which is at work in our lives and the immensity of our spiritual blessings! Because we are in Christ we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms!!!!

What! How awesome is that!!!! We are one with Christ and recieve an inheritence from Him. Hahahahaha, that is soooo exciting! I'm literally getting very excited as I read Ephesians again now!

Wow God's grace is amazing, the depths of His love are unfathomable! We are now united with Christ and as His followers we have the power that raised Christ FROM THE DEAD living IN US!
