Acts 16:6-10 The Message (MSG)

6-8 They went to Phrygia, and then on through the region of Galatia. Their plan was to turn west into Asia province, but the Holy Spirit blocked that route. So they went to Mysia and tried to go north to Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus wouldn’t let them go there either. Proceeding on through Mysia, they went down to the seaport Troas.
9-10 That night Paul had a dream: A Macedonian stood on the far shore and called across the sea, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” The dream gave Paul his map. We went to work at once getting things ready to cross over to Macedonia. All the pieces had come together. We knew now for sure that God had called us to preach the good news to the Europeans.

For Reflection

Paul was called to teach the whole western world. Paul obeyed, and God prepared the way for Paul's ministry.  God also prepared Paul to preach the good news to the Europeans.  God and Paul collaborated in building God's Kingdom.

Pray

Pray so that you will be more able to become a co-conspirator with God in God's plan for the Creation.
