Acts 21:14 And when he (Paul) would not be persuaded, we (Paul’s Christian friends) ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. Paul was on his way to Jerusalem and his friends were confident that if he did go he would be placed in bondage. Yet Paul clearly understood that God’s will for his life was to make the journey. When it became clear to Paul’s friends that the will of God was at work, they stopped trying to fight it. While we should be grateful to have friends, and seek to be a godly friend, we must never overstep our boundaries. The truth of God’s will always trumps the thoughts of our friends. If God is leading you down a path that others are not comfortable with then follow Paul’s example. Let your friends know that while you appreciate their concern, the will of God is the safest place for every believer to be at every moment of their lives!
