Paul was once off the track of his service. He lost his peace of mind and could not continue his service at Troas, even the Lord opened a door of opportunity for him.
Troas was the closest Greek city to Corinth across the sea of Aegean. Paul went to Troas to meet Titus, who was expected to bring him report about Corinth. But when he did not find Titus and received no news, he lost his peace of mind. He put down his work at hands and went to Macedonia to find Titus himself.
But thank God! He delivered Paul from the digression and put Paul back on track . It is like a triumphal parade, the God continue to lead Paul to spread the good news everywhere, like a sweet perfume!
So do not lose heart when you fail, when you are off track, or when you have to take a break. The God will continue to lead you like he led Paul . Stand up, follow the lead, and join Christ's triumphal parade.
Bible verses,
When I came to the city of Troas to preach the Good News of Christ, the Lord opened a door of opportunity for me. But I had no peace of mind because my dear brother Titus hadn’t yet arrived with a report from you. So I said good-bye and went on to Macedonia to find him.But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 2 Corinthians 2:12-14 NLT
