Daily CLC Prayer verse

Today’s reading is Acts 14
“Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, and there they continued to preach the gospel.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭14:1-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Luke says, “they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe”. There are many times when the Holy Spirit guided them to stay in a certain town and keep preaching or a angel would intervene. Here they were guided to flee. God has a purpose in all of our situations. We can’t assume He always wants us to use a certain tactic. He told Joshua to fight a city by walking around it 7 times. Please pray that we and our friends seek and listen to God for His plan for us today. Please pray for all that you are grateful for.
