I have really been moved by reading about Paul's life. So many times I have felt too lost or broken to believe that God could use me. So many times in my life God has had to tell me to get up on my feet and follow his will.
These chapters are such a beautiful picture of God's love for Paul. Paul reached so many people and cared deeply for the people of Ephesus. Paul's season in this city was coming to and end. I think about my own transition right now. The words in Chapter 20 give me great hope. While I will miss the wonderful people I work with, I am confidently trusting in God.
Change is difficult. I like to be able to predict things. I like to be comfortable. Paul definitely stepped out of his comfort zone according to the call that was put on his life.
I hope that I can continue to be confident of what I am called by him to do. I pray this in advance of those long, difficult days when I am not sure why I am where I will be.
God calls us to be uncomfortable. I am praying verse 24 this morning. May God use me to testify about his good news!
