This scripture is referring to Paul’s fervent desire to see the gospel spread throughout the region. He had received God’s call and let nothing prevent him from going after it. He lived with purpose.
Walking with God is life’s greatest adventure. We have many things in our lives to enjoy: family, meaningful careers, fulfilling hobbies, to name a few. But the longer we walk with Jesus, the more we realize we were created to know Him and help others do the same. What a miracle and mystery, this life of discovery that revolves around our incredible Creator and the Lover of our souls. He designed each of us specifically for this time in history (Acts 17:26), and walking in His purposes will fulfill us far more than we can imagine.
Lord, we want to know you more. Help us to watch and listen for You working in our lives and the lives of those around us. May we look for opportunities during our everyday coming and going to share Your love with others.
