We love to go hiking as a family. My kids are young and have logged more hiking miles than many adults! One thing that’s important while hiking is following the signs. Signs saying go this way or that way. Signs saying how far you must go before reaching your destination. Signs saying you’re here— you made it! It gives us comfort to have guidance when we’re walking through the wilderness. Take a moment to read Acts 16:6–15 and remember that Paul and his companions are taking the gospel into unfamiliar territory. It’d be nice to have some guidance along the way.
What did you notice? Paul and his buddies had something better than hiking trail signs—they had the Holy Spirit. The Spirit guided them from place to place, saying, “Take the gospel here, not there,” or “You made it. This is the place.” We all want clear signs from the Holy Spirit to guide us, but those signs aren’t always easy to recognize.
Like hiking, we must stay on the path to see the signs. What’s important is that we continue to follow the path God has laid before us, trusting He is working through the Spirit to guide us when we need it. Sometimes that means we need a very clear sign from the Spirit, and other times it means we just stay on the path in obedience and trust that God knows what we need.
