Grace for your spirit March 3, 2008

Grace for your spirit
But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, "Arise and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza." Acts 8:26

The day Philip got this message from the angel of the Lord to arise and go, what were his options? Was this a multiple choice challenge? Might he have chosen to say "no", or "maybe later", or "I’d like to pray about it first", or "send someone else?" The Spirit of God had communicated to him, Could there be options? When we open the word of God, we are exposed to God’s direction through the Spirit. When God’s word directs us to come to Him, then go make disciples, baptizing them, what are our options? Why is it that Philip had no options nor excuses, but we have plenty? May we allow God’s message to be personal for us, and do His will.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
