Providence (4)

Acts 25:1–5 LSB

“Festus then, having arrived in the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. 2 And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were pleading with him, 3 requesting a favor against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (while they set an ambush to kill him on the way). 4 Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly. 5 “Therefore,” he said, “let the influential men among you go down there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him.”

God used Festus to providentially protect Paul from another plot against his life. The question we are asking in this series is: What is the providence of God?
