Not in the Way We Might Expect


Acts 19:21-22
After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. "After I have been there," he said, "I must visit Rome also." He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia a little longer.

Thoughts for Today:

Paul did eventually go to Rome just as he planned, however he went as a prisoner which I'm sure was not what he had in mind. How many times have I built grandiose plans to arrive at some destination or goal, only to find myself there just not quite in the way I expected?
 
Questions to Ponder:
 
What have been some of the big plans you have made for your life that didn't turn as you expected? Have you found joy in the outcome or are you still bound by the disappointment? This is where being a Christian becomes difficult -- are you up to it? Is your faith strong enough? Sometimes we have to let go of the disappointment and our own plan to find joy and perhaps see a glimpse of God's master plan.
