There eventually comes a moment when people ask themselves a question about their lives, "Did I make the right decision?" When they do ask, it is a time of real, honest, heart reflection. They look at where they are, and from that point, look back at the years they have lived. Things that look like lost opportunities and failures. Maybe even punishments from God. Other questions arise about decisions they made along their journeys. They try to add up how they got to where they are today in a downcast way.

This question is one laced with doubt because of where they see themselves today. They ask this question in despair and discouragement. The enemy also quickly gets involved by tempting them into thinking that they did make wrong decisions, and accuses them ruthlessly in their doubts, casting them down even further.

Today Fred demonstrates through the life of Paul the Apostle the example of a truly free person. A man who lived a relatively free life on the open road preaching the gospel everywhere. Though little by little, he began to lose freedoms he once had until he found himself in chains, and in prison. Fred beautifully takes us on a short but rich journey into Paul's life, and an even deeper look at him in his humanity.

He directs our hearts to look up to the same God Paul did, and to know that wherever we are, wherever we find ourselves, "all things are working together for the good of them that love Him." Meaning, "the good" Paul mentioned did not mean everything would be perfect. But that God works in our lives, according to His good will and purpose are perfectly accomplished.

"There will be no doubt about His having chosen you when you have chosen Him. Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you!" ~Charles H. Spurgeon
