Nate Furness: "Intersections" 

This last week, as I was riding my bike with friends, two drivers yelled at us and several came

dangerously close to hitting us. This experience is not uncommon for cyclists. We are often

targets of road rage. It’s as if drivers only see me as an inconvenience to their destination.

Whether it is pace, direction, or ideas, it is easy to become frustrated with people who move

differently than us. They become obstacles to our destination. What if we stopped seeing

people, and interruptions, as barriers in our way, but as children of God? Like the “chance”

meeting of Paul and Lydia, you never know at what intersection you may meet the Holy Spirit.

Acts 16:9-15

9 During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and

saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 When he had seen the vision, we

immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to

proclaim the good news to them. 11 We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. 13 On the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down

and spoke to the women who had gathered there. 14 A certain woman named Lydia, a

worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple

cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. 15 When she and

her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the

Lord, come and stay at my home.” And she prevailed upon us.
