This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,&nbsp;28&nbsp;and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.&nbsp;</em></p><p>Philip’s journey began when he listened to the Spirit’s leading. He didn’t know exactly why he was being sent to a desert road, but he obeyed. On that road, he encountered an Ethiopian official whose heart God had already been preparing.</p><p>💡 <em>Reflection:</em> The Spirit is always working ahead of us. When we obey His promptings, we often discover that He has already arranged opportunities for us to share His love.</p><p>🙏 <em>Application/Prayer:</em> Ask the Lord to make you more sensitive to His gentle nudges today. Pray, <em>“Holy Spirit, help me to listen and obey, even when I don’t understand why.”</em></p>","author_name":"Various"}
