Feelings and Field

OUR feelings of duty and field of labor are not always the safest guide. They are more or less influenced by early education and surroundings. The apostle Paul felt that he must go to Jerusalem and the Jews. So also when Paul would preach in Asia, the Lord forbade him, and then when the apostle thought to go to Bithynia, the Spirit suffered him not. Acts 16: 7. See also Rom. 1: 13; 15: 22. God knows best. Our present dream may be our future duty; leave all with God unmurmuringly, and follow His opening Providence. God’s time is the best time; His way the best way.
