A) What a blessing that we've come to in 2nd Corinthians. This passage has been foundational for my walk with the Lord. It starts off with Paul talking about going somewhere to preach the gospel. It's impressive because he first says there was an open door from the Lord. That means that God said yes to the initial direction. B) Now, what's even more impressive is that, as Paul describes it, he shares that he's not comfortable. He says he has no peace in his spirit. In another translation, he says it has no peace of mind. We can't use this exclusive of other guidance and direction. But we can use this as part of God's tools to know that we are on the right course. C) Paul was looking for Titus in this situation. And even though there was an open door, because Titus was not there, he did not think this was the best of the best. What's outstanding is what he did next. He left! He was there, it was an open door, but there was something else that was gnawing at him. And he knew it was time to boogie. This is a tool to help us with guidance.
