God is keep working

Acts 24:24-25:5
As Paul discoursed on righteousness,self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, 'That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you."
He later returns with Drusilla, a Jewess, daughter of Herod. his third wife and the likely source of his information about 'the Way'. Paul's talk of 'justice and self-control and future judgment' is too near the bone for this pair, especially as Felix was hoping for a fat bribe from his prisoner.
Two years pass, and Felix is succeeded by Procius Festus (He was not governor for ling, dying in AD 62). His attempt to curry favor(幫助) with the Jews compels Paul to appeal to Caesar.
Why?
The governor became the protector of Paul, and Paul could talk gospel before the governor. Although Paul was in prisoner but he had some freedom to preach gospel.
God make everything happen to approach God's goal. Something are worse to men but it may good to those who trust in the Lord.
How?
Even under pressure and worse situation God is keep working, so I should be encouraged and follow God's way honestly.
