13 - 15 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."  And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "Let the will of the Lord be done."  After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

Oh the confidence of someone who is so is close to God.

28-30,32

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Psalm 62:1,2 - My soul quietly waits for the True God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my deliverance, my citadel high on the hill, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 63:1-4: O True God, You are my God, the One whom I trust. I see You with every fiber of my being. In this dry and weary land with no water in sight, my soul is dry and longs for You. My body aches for You, for Your presence. I have seen You in Your sanctuary and have been awed by Your power and glory. Your steadfast love is better than life itself, so my lips will give you all my praise. I will bless You with every breath of my life; I will lift up my hands in praise to Your name.

16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

Our world is full of things that distract us from God, idols of a different kind, but do we find our spirits provoked? Sadly, I know mine is not nearly as much as it should be.
