A question we can ask of God each day, ‘Who do You want me to tell of Your love today?’ It is likely that most of us will meet a number of people, some needing to hear of Your saving power. How will we know which person God has chosen to know that salvation today?
I re-read the story of Philip obediently on the road that led south from Jerusalem to Gaza. Animations often show him, walking the dusty road till he saw a plume of dust rising in the distance as the African royal courtier approached. Without any information to the contrary I speculated that although in the desert, this road was a regular highway which was used by many people between these two important places. It is possible that there were a number of travellers, which one should Philip speak to? Then we read, ‘The Spirit spoke to Philip, go and join this chariot.’ Acts 8:29. God knows who we will meet today, He will know the condition of their hearts. Some people will already know Him, others will have hard hearts and are far from Him. But others, maybe at least one, will have yearning hearts ready to receive the knowledge of salvation. We need to keep in touch with God and the Holy Spirit and ask Them ‘Who?’ Who is the one or maybe two who is ready to hear the message today? Keep listening to God.
