verses read: Acts 21:27-36, Proverbs 10:12
prayer: 5 minutes
And so it happens. Paul was arrested and bounded in chains. Just as the many had warned him, it came to pass. But he faced it anyway. And from here, it was a long journey, all the way to Rome, his house arrest and all.
And so it happened, as the Holy Spirit had warned me that it would. Yet, I feel the heart of God is grieved. And so, the crossroads I stand at, still has the same two choices. But one choice, the choice I'd rather make, will be fraught with many snares and pains for now. So, I have to follow the other route. One in which God will be greater glorified. Yet one in which I will have to suffer even more.
I guess when we really want to get serious with our relationship with God, He will send even more severe trials each time. And trial has it's purpose to build us up in faith. And so, I will walk down that path; and put my trust in God that He has something planned.
I still don't have the answers. And I have a bad feelings on things to come. I can only pray that God will be merciful and gracious; and that the pain won't be so bad this time round. The door is still open, and that disturbs me a lot.
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all wrongs - Proverbs 10:12
