The Open Door

2.12.2010

Acts 19:10 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. ESV

Paul started his own work, which way really God’s work, in the lecture hall of Tyrannus and continued for two years. He taught, according to the account, daily. How I admire and envy the freedom Paul had to do such a thing; he saw an open door and went for it! And as a result many people heard of what Paul was doing and heard what he was preaching and teaching.

These days I must look for the open door for two reasons: first to get out of the humdrum of western life, and second, to see the open door and go for it. The Lord afforded Paul the freedom to do this and Paul completely trusted the Lord to provide for him as he did.

Father in Heaven,

You paved the way for Paul and You are paving the way for me. I ask again, for the open door, and I ask again for the freedom to go through it. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
