I continue to read in Acts about Paul and his attempt to prove his innocence to the authorities. Everyone that he states his case to cannot find him guilty of anything, yet he remains in captivity. Currently he is pleading his case to the King Agrippa and they have not found him guilty of anything. At one point they call him insane, but they (King Agrippa and Festus) do not beleive he deserves death for his actions.

Proverbs 16 states, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and you plans will succeed." I believe this is very evident in Paul's plans. He is being successful because he is committing to God. I think we all want to be successful in some area of our life, but many times we loose sight of that because we are chasing a dollar. Although, I want to prosper in this world, it is more important to me to gain favor from God and to help others around me. I want to be tight in my relationship with God and everything else will fall into place. That's why I've committed myself to getting up each morning and reading my Bible before I do anything else. God must be at the center of my life and I am making Him a priority. I feel myself transforming. I know it sounds corny, but I really reflect on my actions now. I ask myself. " Would God approve?" This helps to keep myself in check. I pray every morning that I can be the Christian God wants me to be and that I lead a Christian life in all that I do.

I realize it is difficult because there are sooo many temptations of this world, but I am committed to God's plan.
