“Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road–the desert road–that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay near it.'” Acts 8:26-29 (NIV)
God blesses our availability. He is not limited by our ability or inability. God does His best work through those who make themselves available for His use.
So, the question is: Are you available for God’s use? If so, then anticipate God’s invitation for your participation in His Kingdom activity. God is always at work. Are you available to join Him in His work?
Philip made himself available for God’s use. God responded to Philip’s availability by inviting him to join Him in what He was already doing in the life of the Ethiopian eunuch. Did you notice that as Philip was on his way and the eunuch was also on his way and God made a way for the two to connect?
This divine connection would have never taken place had Philip not made himself available for God’s use.
Will you pray right now and make yourself available for God’s use?
Pursuing God,
