Where Is Your Rome?

While reading through the book of Acts, it occured to me that Paul had a longing desire to go to Rome. In his own words he says,"I must also see Rome"(Acts 19:21). Do you have a longing desire, a dream or a passion to do something? Where or what is your Rome? What is it that you've been waiting for the opportunity to do? Take advantage of the time, gifts, and talents God has given you. We all unfortunately, have things that will distract us and hold us back from those things, but if we purpose to do them in His strength they are possible. Although Paul waited for a time, God eventually opened the door to his desire. When we dedicate our "Rome" to prayer, purpose to practice or hone our skills and talents, and clearly surrender our desires to God, He will open the door. So what are you waiting for? What or where is your Rome? Start praying about it today!

Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.
