My favorite person from the Bible is Paul. For so many reasons, reading the wisdom of Paul is so inspiring to me!
- Paul got to meet Jesus! He was so lucky! Although Jesus put scales over Paul’s eyes (when he was Saul), it transformed his life to one of the best Apostles!
- Paul listened to what God had to tell him.
- Paul truly cared about the people he ministered to and prayed for them and fussed over them as a father would.
- Paul knew how to write a letter! He was so encouraging and shared so much wisdom.
- Paul was very humble. He appreciated what he had and he worked for what he got. He did not expect the new churches to support him, but did what he had to do to earn his living and still have time to minister to others.
- Even when Paul was humiliated, he was strong. He did not let beatings or imprisonments stop him from doing what he felt he needed to do, nor did he let evil people stop him from his mission of ministering.
- Paul was tireless! He walked and walked through deserts and towns. He got on ships over rough seas and rode the waves to get to the people that needed him.
- Paul made friends everywhere. For every person that persecuted Paul, God gave him someone to support him. This so helped Paul in mind, body and spirit.
- By documenting everything in letters, Paul has left a written word that I can read and learn from. So much of what was written can still be applied to my modern day situations!
