When Paul’s nephew visits him and tells of a plan he overheard to ambush and kill Paul, Paul isn’t afraid, because He already had a word from God. In Acts 23, the Lord said to Paul, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."
Paul wasn’t afraid of the things he saw and heard in the natural, even though it involved a plan to take his life. Why? Because God had spoken and as far as he was concerned, God’s plans and God’s Words held a much greater level of truth and authority than any plans or reports from man’s mouth. Psalm 119:11 says, “Your Word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Paul was so full of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, that everything he heard was measured against God’s Word rather than God’s Word being measured against what he knew in the natural. God’s Word is final. Psalm 119:89 says, “Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.” We need to have a conviction that regardless of what we see and hear around us, God’s Word is the final authority over any other word. It doesn’t matter if they are people’s comments, social media, the news, a doctor’s report, or plans and policies at the highest level of government. If you want peace of mind, settle that matter in your heart - God’s Word is always final.
