oDay 47, Read Ac. 24:1-27. 24:25: "he reasoned about righteousness, self-control and judgment to come."

Here we see more benefits for a man secure in God's will.  First, Paul is not infuriated by false accusation.  They call him a plague when he brought help to his nation (v17).  They accuse him of riot when they caused the riot.  They label him a ringleader of a sect when he is a worshiper according to the Way.  Second, Paul is not panicky about the 2 year delay.  He won't admit guilt by paying a bribe, nor does he complain about the favoritism shown the Jews.  None of this effects him for he has a leading from God that is true and he will be in Rome (23:11).  So instead of infuriation and panic he uses the time as we must all use our time: testifying of God's grace and reasoning the gospel.  Paul is bound, but remember his words to Timothy: God's word is not bound! (2Ti. 2:9).
