Here is the infamous snake bite that some people want to base their whole religion off of. Myself I’m not into playing with snakes and think thats leaning towards putting God to the test (just my opinion). What I see here is God working every vantage point for his glory. Only God knew how the islanders would react to seeing Paul shake off the snake and even though they were already friendly with everyone after this act they were very nice and extra hospitable.
As I read Paul's exert from Isaiah I make it my prayer to not be the one who doesn't hear or see. I want to be able to see and hear the changing world around me so that I can be a good witness for Christ and be flexible enough to reach an ever-changing lost world.
Mark - Thanks so much for blogging on the book of Acts for us! I did get behind a couple of times during spring break, but did my best to catch up. :-)
