Following God’s Direction
After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia. . . . (Acts 16:10)
Looking back on my life’s journey, I see a series of doors that God opened and closed to bring me where I am today. Along the way, I experienced not only disappointments but also some great surprises. Though I didn’t always see it at the time, I can see
more clearly now how God was guiding me. As you reflect on your life, I wonder if you can see God’s direction in similar ways?
We can see God’s direction at work in the episode that Paul and his companions experienced in today’s scripture. Paul and his team were on a significant missionary journey, bringing the gospel to strategic countries and regions in the Roman Empire.
He and his companions had tried to go to the province of Asia, but the Holy Spirit stopped them, and they changed course. That night, Paul had a vision in which he saw a man begging him to come to Macedonia. So the missionaries went there, and God opened a remarkable door for them in Philippi.
I find myself challenged by this passage to pay close attention to God’s leading. Can I sense that the Spirit is beckoning me to cross the street or a cultural boundary or an ocean to follow and trust his leading?
I love the lyrics in the song Oceans when it says…
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
