Since we've been back in South Florida, we have had to ask the Lord and ourselves, what is it that we are to do. In the past, relocation has always been because of opportunity and calling. Now, it is not.
Recently, in my daily devotions I read 1 Corinthians 16. I took note of how the Apostle Paul made decisions about where he would next minister. Notice the phrases of uncertainty.
"...it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter there...wherever I go."
"...I hope to stay awhile...if the Lord permits."
But in verse eight, Paul writes "I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me."
Paul made his decision about where to minister based on where the "great and effective door" opened for him. This principle is helpful to me as we have been praying about where the Lord would have us go.
