Once again Paul finds himself on trial, this time before Festus who wanted to deal with this situation quickly as well as find favor with the religious leaders. God's hand, is as always orchestrating and directing Paul's life, no matter who seems to be in charge. Paul knows he is to stand before Caesar Nero. Therefore, he trusted in God's plan and we are invited to do the same. The Lord is our strong tower and as we trust Him and run to Him, we will find safety.
