According to His will..

Acts 18: 9-10 KJV
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

Everything happens according to the will of God. At the time when Apostle Paul was in Corinth he used to go into the synagogue every Sabbath to persuade and testify to the Greeks and Jews that Jesus was the Christ however they would regularly oppose and accuse him of blasphemy. As time went on He decided that he was no longer going to preach to the Jews and Greeks but he was going to preach to the Gentiles. When he took that decision he didn’t know that the Lord had already planned for him to take that route in order for him to gain many through his preaching.

We often think that circumstances that force us to take risky decision are unfair because they don’t give us any chance and choice. What we are unaware of is that the decisions that we take are taken because of the Lord’s plan. And the only time that we often realize this is later when we see the benefits of those decisions. What I love about the Lord is the assurance that He gives to us as He did to Paul when He spoke to him at night by vision saying “be not afraid”. When the Lord calls you to do what He wants you to do, don’t be afraid because He is with you. (Psalms 23:2)
