—Acts 8:26-31
by: Paula Reynolds.
What struck me most about this passage was not that Philip was able to catch up with a chariot on foot, which is pretty amazing, but rather Philip’s obedience. Philip didn’t question the direction of the Lord even though the task may have seemed meaningless. It may also have been uncomfortable walking aimlessly in the heat of the desert, but Philip did it and the importance of his obedience is revealed later in the chapter. Let us all try to follow Philip’s example of unquestioned obedience to the will of God and watch how he uses us in amazing ways.
