FOLLOWING THE COMMANDS OF THE LORD!

” The Holy Spirit said to Philip, ‘ Go over and walk along beside the carriage.’ ” Acts 8:29

Scripture tells us that when Philip heard the Holy Spirit tell him to go over and walk beside the carriage, he not only went, but ran over to the carriage. The Ethiopian Eunich was blessed that day because a child of God had listened and followed the commands the Lord had given him. Prior to that command Philip had received another command. He was given directions as to how to get to the Ethiopian Eunich. What if Philip had decided that he was too busy to make that trip? Would the Eunich have missed out on a blessing? I don’t think so. If Philip had not followed the Lord’s commands I believe God would have found someone else to carry out his directions. However, Philip would have missed out. How many times do we hear instructions from the Lord and not follow through. We are either too busy, too tired or just don’t listen. Sometimes we are overcome with our busy lives and we shut the Lord out. It is necessary that we stay in tune with the Lord all day long. He must be our go to person. He uses each of us in many different ways. If we don’t listen and act upon his commands then we will be sure to miss out on blessings from him. The Lord uses us to bless others. We don’t know when, where or why but the Lord our God has a plan. His plan will be carried out whether you and I are a part of it or not. So, stay alert. Listen carefully to the still, quiet voice within you. Follow the Lord’s commands and be a blessing to someone else so that the Lord can be a blessing to you. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
