“When this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed"
(Acts 28:9).
Tarsus, Paul's boyhood home, was a busy seaport in Cilicia. From childhood, he knew various ethnic groups and learned different customs.
Paul's varied background served him well when the ship landed on an island south of Italy. People of Melita spoke another language, but they cared for these sudden visitors who arrived wet and destitute. Superstition seemed to be the only shortcoming of the islanders.
While Paul was on the island, God used him to heal those who were sick. I think of their rejoicing. Imagine! An intruder brought them a blessing in health. This was amazing news. They must have been thankful they treated these strangers well. Kindness worked both ways. The people of Melita gave Paul and his shipmates provisions when they left.
God over all creation, help me to minister and witness for You in times of natural disasters.
