God's Will - Acts 28:30-31

"For the next two years, Paul lived in a rented house. He welcomed all who visited him, proclaiming the Kingdom of God with all boldness and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him." Acts 28:30-31

Here is the irony: Paul was essentially arrested for preaching the gospel. Now he is in "prison," in his own house, receiving visitors and STILL preaching the gospel -- and no one is trying to stop him! Does this make any sense?! No, not from a human perspective; but God's plan is spiritual, and it WILL happen whether we understand it or not. This was God's way for Paul to do his job -- preach to the Gentiles. Paul understood this and took advantage of it, he did not complain about his circumstances. Would I do the same, or only be able to see that I was in prison?

I pray that I can always make GOD'S plan more important than MY circumstances.

Today's reading: Num. 8, 9; Acts 28
