DAY TWENTY SIX | Acts 16: 1-15
Visualize a flowing river, meandering through diverse terrains, continuously moving, shaping, and nurturing everything in its path. Acts 16:1-15 draws us into the river of divine appointments, where the flow of God's will brings unexpected encounters and opens doors to transformative experiences.
Paul's journey starts with a significant choice: to take Timothy, a believer of mixed heritage, under his wing. This decision, seemingly simple, becomes a powerful testament to the inclusivity of the Gospel, showcasing that one's past or heritage doesn't limit God’s calling.
As they journey further, the river of divine appointments takes an unexpected turn. Paul's vision of the Macedonian man is not just a change in direction but a divine invitation to bring the Gospel to new territories.
Their arrival in Philippi introduces them to Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. Here, by the riverside, the waters of divine appointments flow deep. Lydia's heart, opened by the Lord, receives the Gospel, leading not only to her transformation but that of her entire household.
Acts 16:1-15 reminds us that our journey of faith is akin to navigating this river. While we might have plans or expectations, it’s the unexpected bends, the unforeseen encounters, where God often does His most profound work.
Today, as we tread our path, let’s remain open to the river's flow, trusting that every twist and turn, every divine appointment, is part of God’s grand design to shape, guide, and use us for His glory.
