Who Is Walking Your Road With You? Hearing God’s Voice in Rome | Daily Devotional and Bible Study

Who is walking your road with you? When Paul came into Rome in chains, Acts 28:15 says believers walked miles down the Via Appia to meet him.

In today’s Bible study we’re on the Appian Way, the ancient road into Rome that you can still walk, to look at what happened to Paul when he was worn down and unsure what was waiting for him. God didn’t send him a miracle. He sent him people. We talk about why you were never meant to walk your road alone, what that kind of community looks like, and how strangers become family on a trip to Rome.
