God put the Apostle Paul in prison so he might expand his ministry. He had a lot of time on his hands, and he used it to write many of his epistles. He also told people about Jesus and some, even in Caesar’s household, were saved.
The path of life never takes us where we imagine. We rarely know what’s best because we lack information. We can’t see very far down the road.
If you are saved, and you belong to the Lord, you are under His direction. He determines where the path of life leads you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Regardless of where we find ourselves in life, we must come to the place where we are confident in God’s sovereign leadership or we will never have peace and joy.
