Paul and his shipmate landed in an island name Melita.
Paul was helping to gather wood for fire ,as he laid his
bundles of sticks in the flames, a viper came out of the wood and bits him and also hanged on his hand.
Vipers often appear in the fire of life but Paul shook off
the viper and the people waited to see what will happen
to him.
Paul faced a real life trial when he was bitten by
a poisonous snake, but God in his infinite mercy fulfilled
His promise in Mark 16:18 "they shall take up serpent and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.They shall lay hand on the sick and they shall recover"
What is the challenges you are facing like Paul? Is it
marriage issues,heartbreak ,financial crisis,trial and
temptation? God want you to call his name according
to Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not".
God want us to be like Paul in times of crisis, he did not allow fear to overtake him or weigh him down but he shook it off through prayer and studying the word of God. People will be watching you to see that the problem either eats you up but you must be like Paul in all situation. Whatever the situation you find yourself like disappointment, failure,mere success syndromes, poverty, barrenness, frustration and depression have total faith in God that it will be flushed out in Jesus name Amen.
