'Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip,"Go south to the road - the desert road
- that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." So he started out, and on his way he
met an Ethiopian eunoch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of
Candace, queen of the Ethiopians." Acts 8:26,27.
Don't look for great
opportunities when the one that God wants you to take is just the next step that
comes your way. The nearest opportunity is often the one that leads to something
wonderful. Use your common sense and step forward into the obvious. The angel
was just a messenger. He did not have wings! look out for God speaking to you through each day in ordinary ways. Don't miss the messenger!
Philip could have procrastinated
and said "Why go into the desert, there is nothing and no one there." BUT he
just happened to see the most important man, after the queen, in Ethiopia. And
so the Gospel was preached, the man was saved and baptized, and he took the good
news back with him to Ethiopia. This one man was more imortant to God, on that
day, than ten thousand men!
