The Islanders are quick to assume that Paul must be a terrible person because of his "bad luck". Not unlike us. It is fairly common to believe those who "seem" to have everything going for them are wonderful people and vice versa. The fact of the matter is, "God causes the rain to fall and the sun to shine on the just and the unjust".
Paul preached with boldness and power yet in all situations some believed and some didn't. God doesn't ask us to save people or change their minds - that's His job. God simply asks us to speak the truth.
So was Paul chained to a guard the entire two years? That poor guard.
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).
