Event: Paul being blocked to preach in Asia
S - Scripture
Acts 16 v. 6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden to by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
O – Observation
Being led by the Spirit. This verse has always fascinated me. The Holy Spirit forbidding Paul's plans. I wonder how that was? If it was through a dream, then more than likely they would of said that is was what happened. If it was through Jesus, then more than likely they would of had Jesus words. It's possible that all their plans fell through or were made impossible to do, which lead them to the conclusion the Holy Spirit forbid them to go to Asia. Proverbs 16 v. 3, "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. " Paul was clearly committed to the Lord, and his plans were establish. He (and we) need to realize that sometimes our plans are not the Lords; and to be able to adopt for the plans he lays out for us.. No point in putting a square peg in a round hole.
A - Application
Am I being led by the Spirit?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Establish your plan for me, and help me to execute it. Love Will
