Acts 16:1-10; Psalm 100; John 15:18-21

Guided by the Spirit

Paul and his fellow-preachers were directed by the Holy Spirit in where to go and how long to stay – even when (as Jesus had predicted) they would sometimes be hated and persecuted for their preaching in Jesus’ name. We do not know in what way the Holy Spirit “told” them or “would not allow them” but we do know that for us, if we pray and ask for guidance and give the Spirit space and time, it will be in a way that I understand and will be confirmed by someone or something else.
