Let God Be Your Contingency Plan!

“And now, compelled by the Spirit,

I am going to Jerusalem,

not knowing what will happen to me there.”

Acts 20:22

Paul was compelled by the Holy Spirit to go to Jerusalem not knowing what awaited him there.

We also may, at times, be compelled by the Holy Spirit to a certain thing but not be supplied with all of the answers.

We struggle with that sometimes.

We like all of our ‘ducks in a row’ before we venture out into the unknown.

But we are called to a walk of faith.

Faith sometimes calls us out into deep water and does so without supplying a life preserver.

In the business world contingency plans are put in place in the event of any catastrophes like fires, cyber-attacks, flooding or tornadoes.

It is expected that the leaders of that business have considered all of the likely possibilities and put plans in place to address those possibilities and minimize risk or damage to the business.

We are not called to be foolish but we are called to trust God when He calls us out on the water.

Let God be your safety net.

Let God be your contingency plan!

Paul knew this even when he knew little else of why the Holy Spirit was compelling him to go to Jerusalem.
