Saul’s Life in Jeopardy!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who need a means of escape. In Jesus’ name, amen.
When Saul became a believer and started to defend Christ, his opponents decided to seek vengeance.
Luke describes what happened in Acts 9:23-25 (ESV):
“When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him, but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him, but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.”
Saul eluded capture. This incident is reminiscent of what happened in Joshua 2:15 when Rahab helped two spies flee Jericho by rope. In both cases, God provided a means of escape.
Pray for those believers who need to flee to safety.
