Today’s reading is Acts 8:26-40.
“And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth.”
Acts 8:27-32 ESV

All,
This stands out because the court official says, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” Philip is being led by the Holy Spirit to do the purpose of God. Here a court official is reading Isaiah 53, but he needs help understanding what he is reading. Does someone in your life desire to know more about Christ? Are you available to them? Do you have a relationship where they feel comfortable asking for your help? Please pray that we and our friends see the opportunities today that God wants us to see. Please pray for the Cobb county breakfast gathering this Friday at Marietta Diner at 7:15.
