Pray for Discernment!

Event: Paul in Ephesus
S - Scripture
Acts 19 v. 9  But when some were stubborn and disbelieved, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the hall of Tyrannus.
 

O – Observation
Cut your losses. Planting on cement. This verse is interesting to me in that, at some point, Paul determined, was lead, to move on. He was trying to plant the seeds of faith on cement and it’s not gonna happen. Reminds me of the time when Jesus sent Seventy folks out into the towns ahead of him (Luke 10). He said this when they came to towns that did not want to hear the good news, Luke 10 v. 10 -11a, "But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 'Even the dust of your town that clings to your feet, we wipe off against you.'"
 
A - Application
Do I have the discernment on when to move on?  
 
P - Prayer
Jesus, Make it clear to me when it is time to move on.  Love Will
