The whole city was rocked by these accusations, and a great riot followed. Paul was grabbed and dragged out of the Temple, and immediately the gates were closed behind him.
Acts 21:30
“Sometimes our plans and good intentions seem to bring only trouble. But God is still in control! God used Paul’s trials to accomplish His purposes.” – Warren Wiersbe
About good intentions
- Expect your good intentions to cause trouble.
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
2 Timothy 3:12 (ESV)
- Stay faithful to the call regardless of the trials.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
- Trust God to bring you through what He brings you to.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)
- Count it all joy.
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
James 1:2-4 (MSG)
Absurd charges could be brought against me at any time, but God is always on my side working things out for my good because I love Him and called according to His purpose.
Trust God for the good in everything.https://youtu.be/ehAjwXaaNr8
