We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. On the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. A certain woman named Lydia, a worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home.” And she prevailed upon us. (Acts 16:11-15, NRSV)
Did you see what happened here?
Paul went where God was leading him and shared what had happened to him and how he had met Jesus and all that Jesus did for the entire world. And when they shared the message that God sent them with, people would listen and hear and God opened the hearts of those listening and they heard the message of love.
That is what God is asking all of us to do. To go where He leads us, and share His Story with all the world. And then let Him work on the hearts of those who listen.
Are you ready to go?
