God Sees and Knows • Acts 23:11

In Acts 23:11, after what might easily have felt like a completely failed attempt to preach, Paul finds himself stirring an uproar in the Jewish courts and being imprisoned by the Roman government. Then the Lord steps in with this encouragement, “Just like you testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must witness in Rome.” God knew exactly where Paul was at emotionally and a close inspection reveals that God was affirming to Paul that what happened in Jerusalem was “for” Him, and not a failure. God sees the work you do for Him and He knows your heart.
