Divine Summons

Acts 10:19-23 
19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.” 21 Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?” 22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

When God's Spirit moves us to go, are we compelled to do so that others may hear the good words of life and reconciliation with God?  Do we welcome those God brings on our path with a willing heart?  We may never hear an audible voice, but the prompting of His Spirit living in us will guide our steps as long as we move to follow.  Others may accompany as these three went with Peter to bring the gospel to those not expected to hear it
