Sensitivity

“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 (NIV)

Is availability enough? If you make yourself available for God’s use will that be enough? No! Your availability must be accompanied by your sensitivity to God’s activity.

Philip would have missed the divine connection with the Ethiopian eunuch had he not both made himself available to God and been sensitive to God’s activity. In obedience to God, Philip ran to the chariot. Then, he was sensitive enough to hear the man reading Isaiah the prophet and to ask a probing question. In others words, Philip was sensitive to the opportunity that God had orchestrated.

God is always at work. Make yourself available and be sensitive to God’s activity. Your sensitivity to God’s activity will determine the level of connectivity with people God brings into your path.

Are you available? Are you sensitive to God’s activity? Let’s see what happens in your life today!

Pursuing God,

Stephen Trammell
Pastor of Leadership and Pastoral Care
