One of the many exciting aspects of walking with Christ is that we don’t know what’s going to happen next. At times we may be uncomfortable with the twists and turns, but God reserves the right to lead us wherever He wants. As we prayerfully consider what God wants us to do, we can be confident that He will lead us day by day through His Word and by His Spirit within us. Because He is good, we can trust Him with our lives in this great adventure called the Christian life.

On the Sabbath we went out of the city to the riverside,

where we thought there would be a place where Jews gathered for prayer.

We sat down and talked to the women who gathered there.

One of those who heard us was Lydia from Thyatira,

who was a dealer in purple cloth.

She was a woman who worshipped God,

and the LORD opened her mind to pay attention to what Paul was saying.

After she and the people of her house had been baptized, she invited us,

"Come and stay in my house

if you have decided that I am a true believer in the LORD."

And she persuaded us to go.

Acts 16:13-15
