God Leads

"Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to....During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.'...we got ready to leave at once for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." Acts 16:6-7, 9-10

Sometimes even Paul groped around a little before He understood where God was leading Him. God does not usually give us a road map ahead of time. Rather he leads us as we prayerfully seek Him and obey His command. If we are submissive to Him then He will get us where He wants us to be just as He did with Paul. Sometimes we just need to relax and let God lead trusting that He is able to lead those who seek Him. Keep doing the last thing God led you to do until He changes your course. Don't stress out! Rest in God's wisdom, power, and grace!

Father, I trust You to lead me and use me according to Your will. Give me a sensitive and submissive heart toward You.

I'm praying for you.
Pastor Mark
