'After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him. '
Acts 28:11-16
God was always providing for Paul and those who were with him. He provided them with a ship that had wintered on the island to get them where the Lord wanted them to go. He also always blessed them with favor with the people they crossed paths with on the way. People in Puteoli invited them to stay with them for a week. Then when they got to Rome, the brothers and sisters in the faith there had already heard they were coming and traveled to meet them. The sight of them greatly encouraged Paul and he thanked God for them!!! God also gave God favor with them and he was allowed to live by himself there with a soldier to guard him. God is so good!!
Just as God did for Paul, He will provide everything that we need to get us where He wants us to be. His favor and goodness will follow us as He graciously puts the right people in our paths that will be kind to us, help us, be an encouragement to us, and will be blessed by us as well. God will even tell people about us before we even get there!! They will be waiting on us!! Hallelujah!! Lord, thank You so much for Your favor, providence, protection, support, goodness, and for all of the people that You put in our paths to encourage us, for us to minister to and be a blessing to, and to support us along the way. You are such a good and awesome God!!! You will even put perfect strangers in our paths to bless us and support us and for us to bless and support.
