"No Wasted Days" [Acts 28:30-31]

What do you do when life looks nothing like you planned? Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome, chained to a guard, waiting on a trial. It could have looked like wasted time. Instead, Luke tells us he welcomed everyone who came, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about Jesus with boldness and without hindrance (Acts 28:30-31).

Paul could not control his circumstances, but he could be faithful with the day God gave him. His chains did not stop the gospel.

Neither do yours. Whatever season you are in right now, God has placed you there on purpose. The people in front of you, the place you are in, the resources you have, all of it can be used to make much of Jesus. You do not need perfect circumstances to live a purposeful life.
