Daily Thoughts 6-2-2017 Acts 25:21

"And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar." ‭‭Acts‬ ‭25:21‬

Have you ever been to Rome?  In the coliseum stands a wooden cross and this is how Rome was conquered.  Paul began the process as he was a Roman citizen by asking for the Emperor's decision.  Jesus told Peter "Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." ‭‭John‬ ‭21:18‬.  We know how Peter died, hanging on a cross upside down.  Just like Rome,  It is the cross that is conquering the world.  

Dear Lord Jesus, bless this day with the joy of knowing You.  We are blessed beyond measure to live in this part of the world.  May I do my part in Your Kingdom.  Show me the way and I will follow.  It is You that shepherds Your flock, may I sit still and be shepherded.  Thank You Lord for the blessings of rain and the blessings of family and friends. May my response being in actions today.  I ask this through the name of Jesus, Amen.  

Mary, Queen of Marty's, pray for us.
