Devotion 8/24, Trust in the Lord, he will lead you
“How can I [understand],” he said, “unless someone explains it to me.
Acts 8:31
I wonder if Philip saw that moment coming. The Spirit of God surely did.
Have you ever been approached and asked, “Can I ask you some questions about church and faith?”
We normally never see that coming! We hadn’t prayed for them. But that didn’t mean God wasn’t working on them.
In fact, God is working on all kinds of people all of the time. He may even be working on a person you least expect. So don’t be surprised when that coworker who annoys you sits down at the lunch table to ask what’s different about you. Or when a classmate who acts like they have it all together asks you to pray for them. Somehow they know you have a connection with God.
What would happen if we began every day knowing that God has already been at work in the people around us, some of whom we might talk with that day? How could that change the way you go about your day?
God, you work in mysterious ways. Give us eyes and ears and the right words to say so that we can be your witnesses everywhere each day. Amen.
Lord I trust in You, for all things from You strengthen my ability to serve your kingdom. May my witness by what I say and do glorify You and Your Kingdom. Thank you, Lord. Amen
