But 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 road. 

And he rose and went.

And behold...

                           Acts 8. 26-27

(Obedience and faithfulness

     do not hinge on

knowing the reason why,

just knowing God has

            incredible purpose in it.

Even on a desert road.

Divine appointments

     always arrive unexpected

   and are rooted in the eternal.

And we are surrounded by them.

"And behold...").
