Paul has a vision of a man from Macedonia urging him to come over to help them. Paul and his companions set sail immediately, but, when they arrive in Philippi, instead of meeting a man, Paul encounters a God-fearing woman named Lydia.

Though we may have a sense of God’s will and direction, following that call is not always plain sailing. There is a need for trust in God’s provision and voice, particularly during turbulence, trusting that God has gone ahead of us and will guide us.
