Acts25,23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking officers and the leading men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. > To listen to Paul - great pomp - what else did they listen to this day? How would i listen today to Paul? Very intensely! Because it would be so extremely special to hear Paul! But today - i have this book Bible. Because i feel so save to read when ever i want. But what would i do, if i know, i have the Bible just one more day? How would i feel without the Bible but remember that i had this book ones in my house. - I THINK I SHOULD READ IT WAY MORE - JUST BECAUSE ... WHAT WOULD I BE AND DO WITHOUT?
24 Festus said: King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! > Wow - so cool - they saw Paul standing right there! The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. > Some want to have Paul dead!
25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death  > OK, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome.  > Yeah, we do not need to do anything, but at least it is interesting and entertaining!
26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. > Aha Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write.  > It is so hard to have anything against Paul. Still they did not let him go. Because they wanted to keep the peace in this section of the world. How much do i love peace more then truth?
27 For I think it is unreasonable to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him. > yes, this is true. But they would not find anything against him. Not the Romans.

What am i doing with all of that?
How must Paul have felt?
He did not let him self be discouraged  - next opportunity to preach he tuk with all his heart! 
What is stopping me? People who don't want listen to me? Even i am clearly not the most smart on earth! It is so obvious that i am not so convincing like Paul. But i can feel discouraged about the not respond of others to what i have to say. Paul had the same situation - but being Paul, ... He did not give up. He gave all he had always!

God help me to repent! Help me to give and not to give up! GOD GIVE ME WISDOM! Help me, that i can know, what i have to say next. I do not know.
God be with us! My wife and my 2Kids! Help us to be close with you!
