—Acts 8:26-40
When I start a trip to a new place, I usually use Google maps to get a feel for the journey and to guide me as I go. In today’s passage, Phillip was sent on a wonderful journey that led to a man accepting Christ. But Phillip did not know this at the beginning of his journey. He only had the instruction from God to “get ready and go” (v.26). In a world where we are used to having maps to guide us, how much faith does it take to set out on a journey not even knowing the next step, much less the destination. It all comes down to trusting God. Following through on God’s sometimes strange directions leads to the glory of God and our own good as well.
