Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Tuesday. 😀
Allow me to give you a little backdrop to this morning’s spiritual stimulating word.
Philip was a disciple of Jesus who preached in Samaria with great accomplishments until an angel of the Lord told him to move on. Now, while on his journey, he ran into an Ethiopian eunuch who was traveling by chariot and reading the book of Isaiah. Philip was led by the Holy Spirit to draw close to this man and he answered his questions about Jesus. Their interaction developed into the Ethiopian eunuch being baptized that very day.
Afterward Philip was led away by the Holy Spirit to another location to continue his work. Now, if you go back and read Acts 8, you’ll notice in the story that Philip never looks back or asks the Lord why he’s being moved if he’s having such great success where he is. He keeps pressing forward. Beloved, the Lord doesn’t measure your success by how much you’ve accomplished. He measures your success by how obedient you are to his commands. If the early followers of Jesus hadn’t been obedient to his command to, “go forth and make disciples of all nations” the Gospel would have never left Israel. Beloved, if God can use me, I assure you He can use you in mighty ways also, “but” if you’re not obedient to His will or you keep looking back, you’re going to miss your calling. “Keep pressing forward”.
Amen? – AAAmen. 😀
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE –
TOO LATE.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Have a blessed Tuesday Everyone. 😀
