Paul Preaches in Macedonia

Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. Acts 16:6-10

Steps: 11, 12

After getting the message to go to the Gentiles from the leading Apostles in Jerusalem Paul headed out to preach. He wanted to go into Asia but God said no. After a short while God gave Paul a vision about going to Macedonia a nation just north of Greece. Paul was ready to go and to share the love of Jesus and His power to help people recover from sin. Now that he had his marching orders, nothing would hold him back from sharing his experience, love, and hope in Jesus.

Prayer for Today: God, help us to be willing to go out and share in any time and in any way that will be helpful to someone out there who is struggling in You. Give us the courage, the words, and the grace to help. Thank You for Your love.
