Scripture Readings Summary:
Proverbs: 5:15-23: Remain faithful to your wife. Keep your love devoted to her, let her alone satisfy you. Otherwise your adultery will be a trap, you will be bound by this sin and your foolishness (adultery) will lead you astray from the Lord.
Acts 21:1-16: Paul continues his journey towards Jerusalem. He visits with the Christians in Tyre and with Philip the Evangelist. Agabus arrives from Judea and prophecies Paul will be arrested and handed over to the Gentiles. Paul is unflinching in his journey to Jerusalem stating, ““What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
You can see from Paul’s various stops on his travels the fruit of his labors over the years. The Christians he knew, prayed with and who cared for his welfare. This account is very revealing to the extent of Paul’s work and fruitful labors.
