Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. (Acts 8:30-31)
God didn't decide to just throw Philip at the Ethiopian to see how Philip would do. God had already been working in the Ethiopian's life and now he wanted to use Philip to seal the deal. God uses us in similar ways. When God asks you to do something, God isn't just asking on a whim; there's a reason for it. God always prepares our way. When we know this, it takes a lot of the fear out of following God. No matter how odd it may seem, God has a plan when he asks us to serve in a particular way. Always remember that you're part of a much larger plan.
how might God be moving in the lives of people around you?
Is God asking you to help them in any way?
Ask God to show you clearly what to do.
