We are encouraged every day by the numerous blessings we have received. I can imagine Philip in Acts 8 giving thanks for the blessings he had received on that particular day that we read about. Under God’s guidance he was on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. I can imagine Philip in conversation with God, ‘I only obeyed Your instructions and look what happened. It was through Your will that I met this Ethiopian who was in charge of all the treasury of the Queen, not just any Ethiopian. There he was travelling along reading Your word and not understanding it. I was able to share Your good news with him and suddenly there was some water nearby (there’s not of much of that in the desert) and he was baptised. Because he was such an important person many people will now hear about You.’
The day of miracles isn’t over and Philip met many of them in just one day.
We pray that when we meet such an opportunity we may be ready as he was. It might not be so spectacular but any soul won for You causes the angels in heaven to rejoice. May we be as ready and obedient.
