Acts 20:16 “For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.” I highlighted three words in our verse for today for a reason. Every believer should constantly keep before them the clarity and comfort of the truth that God is sovereign. Yet at the same time we must understand that the will of God does not take place “automatically”. We have to make choices. We all need to choose to plan (determine), engage with passion (hasted), and to be flexible (possible). Questions to face: What is your plan to accomplish God’s will? Are you investing your energies in accomplishing the plan? Are you willing for God to take your plans and your passions and do with them what He pleases? Decisions to make: Today, let us make a plan to do God’s will. Let us not become lackadaisical but passionate about the most seemingly trivial part of that plan. While taking our hands off the steering wheel and allowing God to lead step by step.
