Daily Walk Through the New Testament
September 25
Read Acts 8:26-9:9

It is a long way from Ethiopia to Jerusalem, but the African official in Acts 8 had made the trek. It was not a political meeting but a spiritual search that had launched him on this journey. He had come looking for answers — for God. As he was heading home, he was still searching. Apparently the religious traditions had not been enough to satisfy his soul. In God’s providential timing, Philip came onto the scene while this man was reading Isaiah. Philip was there as God’s messenger to point the way to Jesus. He was faithful to get near this searcher and speak truth to him.
Who do you know that may be searching? You never know what may be going on in someone’s life when you feel the prompting of God’s Spirit to go to that person and share the truth about Jesus. Philip was busy, but he wasn’t too busy to follow God’s prompting and share the greatest message in the world. Don’t be too busy to help someone find their way to God. There is someone waiting for you.
