Passage of the Day - January 9, 2011

Acts 18:19-22

 ¹⁹They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

 ²⁰When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,

 ²¹but taking leave of them and saying, "I will return to you again if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.

 ²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.

Interesting thought on God’s will.  Are we supposed to find God’s will in order to know what to do in life, or are we to be subject to the boundaries God’s will sets up?  Is it knowing which door to go through, or is it more about not trying to pry open a door He already closed?  There is very little (if any) in the Bible about how to determine God’s specific will, but there is a lot about having faith in Him knowing what He is doing.
