The Straight Course

Acts 16:10-12 
10 Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. 11 Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.

Paul was shown they needed to go help a Macedonian man, so they got up and went straightaway.  They rightly saw that God was telling them to go with the good words of life to someone begging to be helped by God.  So they sailed until arriving at Philippi there, and waited around for days to see where they needed to be.  They waited on God's call for direction, took action to go, then waited for direction again to participate in His work at His time, doubting nothing.  A great example for us.
