Now Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and he
was laying them on the fire when a vier crawled out
because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
When 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, Justice [the goddess of avenging] has not
permitted that he should live. Then [Paul simply]
shook off the small creature into the fire and
suffered no evil effects.
Acts 28:3-5
When Paul was shipwrecked on the island
of Malta, a deadly snake that was driven
out by the heat of fire bit him. He simply shook
the creature off into the flames. You should follow
Paul's example and do the same in your own life.
Whatever may be troubling you, shake it off!
God has great things planned for you. the dreams of
the future leave no room for the snakebites of the
past.
