Now an angel of the Lord
said to Philip,
"Rise and go toward the south
to the road that goes down
from Jerusalem to Gaza."
This is a desert place.
And he rose and went.
Acts 8. 26-27
(You want me to go where?
You want me to do what?
Obedience to God
does not require Him
to explain to us
the immediate
or the eternal.
When we respond to Him,
God's purposes may not
even be revealed then,
but are already set into motion.
"Trust Me in this"
is the lifeblood of the faithful.
In this biblical situation,
as in our own,
God's timing is precise.
Delayed obedience
is the same as
disobedience.)
O LORD,
Please help as we listen
for You and to You
that we will be ready to roll
at Your call.
Enlarge our hearts
that we may not question
a desert place
or fertile soil.
It is all sacred ground to You.
And Your purposes
reach far deeper than
we can ever imagine.
Empower us
to rise and run
at Your word.
