Obedience Is To Be Led By The Lord

Acts 16:6-10
⁶ 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. ⁷ When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. ⁸ So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. ⁹ During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” ¹⁰ After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.


Paul was going all over to preach the gospel. The Holy Spirit was stopping them from preaching in Asia, so he went on to other places as the Lord led.

Sometimes, it's not what I want or what someone else wants, but it is as the Lord leads, according to His timing. Although God wants all to hear the gospel, it is according to His will, and Paul was able to obey the Lord as to preach where He wanted him to preach.

Father God, I praise Your Holy name. I thank you God for everything I am. My heart belongs to You Lord. Again, lead me into a spirit of obedience, that I may be led by Your Holy Spirit. Allow my heart to be moved by You and You alone, Lord. I thank you so much, Lord. I praise Your name. Let me grow closer to You. I pray this in Jesus Mighty name.
Amen.
