"The book of Acts concludes with Paul confined in Rome, living under guard in a rented house, where he “received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 28:30-31).
Instead of focusing on his restrictions, Paul saw opportunities. That’s the key for us as well. There is a universe of humanity within our reach today." by David C. McCasland
"Instead of focusing on his restrictions, Paul saw opportunities." I need to remind myself daily of this insight. Obstacles or Opportunities. Interruptions or Opportunities. Restrictions or Opportunities. It really is a choice. It is a conscious choice to be made daily...encounter by encounter. Living under God's leading...choose life.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20a
"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days..."
