Read Acts 8:26-38.

There are some really great things in this passage, but just focusing on one thing, you see the submissive attitude of Philip. Philip had been experiencing very fruitful ministry.

Yet, he now needed to go to the next place of ministry the Lord had for Him (verse 26).

Philip's response to the Lord's command is wonderful, "So he got up and went" (verse 27a). 

This sounds so simple, but how difficult this can be! When we find ourselves in a place of ministry or in life that is exciting or just comfortable, we really don't want the Lord to give us a change of direction. We convince ourselves; the Lord would never direct us to leave that place and go to a place of uncertainty for us.

But clearly, as with Philip, the Lord has things in mind that we may know nothing about. Philip left one place of ministry to reach another the Lord had prepared for him (verses 29-31).

Personal Worship Option:

Lord, I pray my heart would be so fixed on You, that I would respond as Philip did to Your leading. Not letting comfort, fear, or the opinions of others hold me from Your will.

Let me just walk with You, today. May I experience Your presence in all that I face. Amen
