Shake it Off!

Acts 28: 3-6

3Now Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and he was laying them on the fire when a viper crawled out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand 4When the natives saw the little animal hanging from his hand, they said to one another, doubtless this man is a murderer for though he has been saved from the sea has not permitted that he should live 5Then Paul shook off the small creature into the fire and suffered no evil effects 6However they were waiting, expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead, but when they had watched him long time and saw nothing fatal or harmful come to him they changed their minds and kept saying over and over he was a god. 

The viper is a dangerous animal. If anyone gets bitten by this snake, he or she will die or loose a body part. So people thought Paul was going to die, but little did they know Paul had so much faith in God. That little bite did not hurt him. He shook it off and kept doing what needed to be done. Times in our life we are going to get bitten by things (rejection, disappointment, evil spirits, and so on) we need to understand how to shake this things off. People are looking at us, lets show them GOD is our side and we shake it off……..

Pray tonight that we shake off  what have bitten us and have more of God in our life. Bless you :)
