Acts 8:26-40

“As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, ‘Go south^[b] down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ 27 So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.

29 The Holy Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and walk along beside the carriage.’”                v. 26-29 (NLT)

Two different times with two different assignments Phillip was told to go and do something for the Lord.  Because of his obedience, we see that God used Phillip in a big way to explain the Gospel to an Ethiopian Eunuch, who in return, would be taking the Gospel to Ethiopia.  The thing I notice is that Phillip didn’t hesitate, he didn’t question if that is what God really said or really wanted him to do, he didn’t say I’ll get to that right after I am done with this, no, when God spoke, he listened and obeyed!   He went where the Lord sent!

Have you ever heard or felt the Lord telling you to go somewhere or do something?  How did you respond?  Did you listen and go like Phillip or did you question and wait, or maybe even ignore feeling inadequate or scared.  As we begin 2009, lets listen to Gods voice and go wherever He leads!  It could be a radical adventure that we never expected!
