Nothing Can Separate

Joel Wood // July 20th 2025

In Acts 27-28 we see death knocking at Paul’s doorstep, first in the form of a storm at sea, then in the form of soldiers that conspire to kill him, and finally in the form of a poisonous snake that bites him! And yet we discover that nothing can separate Paul from God’s love for him and God’s plan for his life. The same reality is true for us as followers of Christ today. Though we know that our lives will involve passing through stormy seas, we find hope in God’s Word, God’s sovereign hand, and God’s healing promises. We can live knowing that nothing can separate us from God’s love and plan, not even death. This gives us courage when we feel weak and hope when all feels lost just as it did for Paul.

Acts 27-28:16
