Acts 21:1-14

Many Christian believers warned Paul not to go to Jerusalem. A prophet named Agabus told him that if he went there, he would be bound and handed over to the Gentiles. Paul was not swayed, but remained determined to go. He was resolute in his commitment to follow the will of the Lord even if it meant his death.

Paul was ready to sacrifice his life in order to follow the will of the Lord for his life. Even being captured and killed was not enough to deter him. Each of us has a time in our lives where doing the will of the Lord means sacrificing physically, financially, or socially. What would stop you from serving the Lord? Think about that and pray for God to lift any barriers in your life that stand in the way of serving Him.
