toward the south along the road...27 So he arose and went. And behold, a
man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the
Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem
to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading
Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and
overtake this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the
prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
MISSIONS TRIPS can happen in everyday life if we keep our hearts open to
the Lord's leading. There have been many times that just by saying to
someone "God bless you", can give you an opportunity to pray with someone
or to share about Jesus. Yesterday, I was having lunch with a new friend
and as we were leaving a woman picked up our trays and as I said "God bless
you" she responded with "God bless you". I asked if there was something
that I could pray for her about, her response was "the happiness of her
family", so I prayed with her right then and there in the restaurant.
Yesterday afternoon, Tyenna, my 17 month old grand-daughter dropped my
daughters phone in the dog's water. During this missions trip, I was able
to pray with a member of the Geek Squad about her parents traveling mercy.
After that, called Apple Care and talked to Callie. Was able to encourage
her in the Word, let her know how much Jesus loves her, and reassure her it
is not about "religion", it is about a relationship with the One True
Living God. As God directed Philip to share with the Ethiopian eunuch, God
will direct his children today if we are willing to listen and to obey.
