For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost. 

The Apostle Paul spent much time traveling to different cities, spreading the message of Jesus Christ. In his travels, he longed to be in one city by a certain date to celebrate the important religious holiday of Pentecost. He knew that to arrive on time, he would have to forgo visiting certain areas so his timing would be dead on. 

In your daily life, do you put aside your personal agenda to be dead on time for special days of worship with the Lord? Do you look forward to Sundays and Wednesdays, when you can come freely to worship the Savior, the one who saved you from eternity in hell? Life and it's busy schedule can be a stumbling block to those special moments with God....make time for the Lord. He stepped off the throne in Heaven to spend time on earth to prepare a special life for you and every believer. 

What are you willing to sacrifice, this Wednesday,  to spend time with Him in prayer and worship? Consider all He gave up for you....nothing in this day's agenda is more important than worshiping God. Make time for Jesus every day and find blessings in your personal sacrafices. See you at chuch this evening friend. 

God bless.
