Acts Nineteen

This two year chapter in Paul's life was actually much longer than what we read in verse 10. Head back to chapter 16 and read verses 6 and 7. I'll wait for you to get back....waiting....still waiting.... Have you considered a speed reading class?...you back?... Great, here we go. It had seemed that God had closed the door for Paul in Asia three chapters ago. Paul seemed to really want to spread the Good News to those people and yet God's time table was different.

Sometimes, God allows detours in our lives because He knows that we aren't as prepared as we think. As we take a deeper look at what factors changed for Paul, verse 9 sheds some light. As Paul takes his team with him from Ephesus, his influence is multiplied in Asia.

Waiting when we really want to do something that could make a difference can be frustrating. What we have to keep in mind is that when it comes to matters with God, His timing is all that desists. He is preparing you today to do something amazing tomorrow.
