2 Corinthians 11:25 "Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea...." 

Have you ever felt no matter what you do, you were doing it wrong, or if you were trying to complete something things would pop up left and right to detain you?  Right now I feel this happening in my own life. One step forward and two or three steps backwards. This happened to Paul when he was preaching and could not travel or do the things he was called to do. Paul was an apostle spreading the gospel to foreign countries.  There is no direct evidence that Paul officially met Jesus before his death, but Paul did encounter Jesus on the Road to Damascus after his resurrection. Paul was called to proclaim His name to both Gentiles and the children of Israel. It was not an easy go of it as Paul traveled around through out the mediterranean world spreading the gospel of Christ. He encountered prison, protests and more.

I remain struggling trying to do the correct thing for a loved one. While I have indeed given the situation to the Lord, bills have to get paid and appointments have to be made. There are still physical things I have to complete, but other things cause interference. I read this in my morning study and wanted to share it with you. 

"Beloved, whenever you are doubtful as to your course, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, and ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one. Say, "Blessed Spirit, I cast on Thee the entire responsibility of closing against my steps any and every course which is not of God. Let me hear Thy voice behind me whenever I turn to the right hand or the left."

In the meanwhile, continue along the path which you have been already treading. Abide in the calling in which you are called, unless you are clearly told to do something else. The Spirit of Jesus waits to be to you, O pilgrim, what He was to Paul. Only be careful to obey His least prohibition; and where, after believing prayer, there are no apparent hindrances, go forward with enlarged heart. Do not be surprised if the answer comes in closed doors. But when doors are shut right and left, an open road is sure to lead to Troas. There Luke awaits, and visions will point the way, where vast opportunities stand open, and faithful friends are waiting." --Paul, by Meyer
