people of this island they changed their minds and said Paul was a god

Acts 28:1-10

Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. They honored us in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.

Why?

Paul shows he is different among those people, Paul was not hit by the snake and healed many sick people on the island.

People on this island saw Paul as a god. Because the snake could not hurt him and he helped many sick people be cured.

I have not the capability to heal sick people, I am a normal man, and without the Lord, I can do nothing.

How?

Pray to the Lord and protect my living day with peace joy and health. Blessing and Healing bring honor and respect from others, like the island of Malta.
