Acts 16–20

Kevin's Commentary 

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, I’m thankful that, although I don’t know the future, You are leading me as I go through it.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time.  The Holy Spirit led Paul and Barnabas in their journeys. Have you ever been conscious of the Spirit’s leading? In what ways does the Holy Spirit lead you?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• Paul traveled all across Asia sharing the Gospel in spite of long distances or fierce opposition. Why do you think he was such a tenacious witness for Jesus? 
• Paul detoured from his intended destination to go to Macedonia. Has God used a detour in your life to accomplish something good for you or others?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. If someone asked you, “What must I do to be saved?”, how would you answer? Prepare just a few sentences to use as a ready reply.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Lead me each day, Lord. I don’t want to live any day without the consciousness that You are leading the way.
