Allow God to order the Path

Acts 20:1-6

New International Version

Through Macedonia and Greece

20 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia. 2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, 3 where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia. 4 He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. 6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

Paul heard of a plot against him. He altered his travels. How do we view this change? The change was made from trust in God and prayer time spent with God. Paul followed the instructions given in Deut 6:16 and quoted by Jesus in Matthew 4:7, do not test the Lord my God. God will protect us from the unknown, but when it is known an alternative plan can be followed.

What about you? Are you in prayer with God to lead your steps? Are you trusting God through Godly people put in your path? Trust God today.
