Where We Going Daddy?
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Acts 8:1 NIV
�Where are we going, Daddy?�
�We're moving to Samaria.�
�Samaria? But, Daddy, that's so far from home. We don't know anyone in Samaria.�
�We have to go, darling. It is not safe for us here. It will be alright! God will take care of us, wherever we go!�
You can almost hear the discussion now. The church was being persecuted. In these times of a great spiritual awakening, the Christians were, more than ever, under pressure to be quiet about their faith. Running for their own safety, they must have wondered why this was happening. After all, hadn't they just received the �Good News�?
Make no mistake about it, God always knows what He is doing! Wasn't it Jesus who told the disciples to take the gospel into Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the outer most parts of the earth? (Act 1:8) How would the people hear of Jesus, unless someone went? Can't you see it was all a part of the plan?
Dear struggling Christian, right now you may be wondering what God is up to. You may even question the wisdom in your situation. Don't be moved. Stand firm in your faith! God does have a plan. Right now, wherever you are, if you are His child, then I guarantee you, you are right in the middle of that plan! He's working all things for an ultimate good.
In the case of today's verse, we only had to wait seven chapters to figure out what God was doing. Wait for Him to work His plan in your life, no matter how long it takes!
Trust Him! He'll get you there!
