S – After we had been there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own feet and hands, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him over to the Gentiles.’ 

Acts 21:10–11 CSB

O—The prophet Agabus gave a visual prophecy depicting Paul’s capture by the Jews in Jerusalem and trial by the Gentiles. The powerful illustration was fulfilled. 

A – Paul knew what would happen to him and still moved toward it.  Life is challenging and complicated at times.  What do you do when you know God is putting you into a difficult situation?  You move into it knowing that the Holy Spirit is with you and that you have all of God’s resources.

R—Heavenly Father, we surrender and worship you. As we enter a new week, we honor you first.  We know this week will have challenges.  Help us to walk confidently in your presence and power.  Give us courage to face all that we go into and obey your direction.
