"Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him."
Acts 28:30-31
The book of Acts ends with Paul living in his own rented house, having been given permission by the soldiers to live by himself under guard. We would call this "house-arrest." There, he had freedom to preach and teach, and he also wrote letters to the churches at Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse, and a personal letter to Philemon. The letter to Philemon is of special interest because it concerns Onesimus, a run-away slave from Colosse who made his way to Rome and was one of those who came under Paul's ministry and was converted. If Onesimus was the only reason Paul went to Rome, it was worth it because God cares about individuals. Every Believer is placed where he is to touch individuals with the love of the Lord Jesus. So, bloom where you're planted.
Today's Thought: God puts Believers where he wants them in order to minister the grace and love of the Lord Jesus to individuals with whom they have contact.
Have an blooming day. Love you.
