Joshua 1:8

"...[B]ut you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8).

"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me." (John 5:39).

"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13).

September 11 - Acts 26

Paul's story is amazing and his ability to present it is just as impressive.  Festus' exclamation seems to show his discomfort and embarrassment.  Yet Paul is cool and respectful.  Notice how Paul doesn't try to debate them or show off how brilliant he is - he simply tells them how Jesus had changed his life. 
Not much else is really said of Festus, Agrippa, and Bernice.  I wonder if any of them were changed by their encounter with Paul?

    This would be something I think we ought to try to emulate - telling of how Jesus has and continues to impact our lives and how we live. And to do it as Paul did - not defensively, not in a way that looks down on anyone else.
    I would imaging that everyone was changed at least in some way by their encounter with Paul - whether or not they believed him or not I don't know but they were most certainly forced to think about it and consider what he was saying.
