You want to talk about favor? Paul was a prisoner and was being transported away. On the way to Italy, they stopped in Sidon. While he was there, as a prisoner, Paul was allowed to visit with some friends and to be refreshed and cared for. What system of government allows their prisoners to hang out with their friends at a stop on the way to being transported to another city. Paul was allowed to do so because of the favor that was on his life. Yes, he was persecuted and faced many hardships. On the other hand, he escaped death multiple times, and he was treated differently than the average prisoner. The favor of God can be with us in the most trying times. The favor of God can put us over when it looks like we are going under. Let's believe God for His favor. It belongs to us. It is a benefit we should enjoy as His children.
