Devotional “I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart;” Psalm 9:1 Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth's gratitude rises when the sun of heaven's love warms the ground.

The book of Acts concludes with Paul dwelling in “his own hired house” [Acts 28:30]. Although his freedom was curtailed, it must have been a pleasant two years for Paul.
