Our wisdom for today is in Proverbs 10: verse 8.
“The wise in heart accept commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.”
I love Philip’s story. God told him to go to a desert road and he went. There was no “I have a person for you to talk to,” or “there you will lead someone to Christ.” Later, of course, God did give him the opportunity to tell someone about God, but when the command came, it was a “just do it” thing. Just go!
Even though it was an 80-mile walk, he went as God commanded. Sometimes being a follower of God means doing what we do not understand. This was one of those times. Contained in this story is the real secret to being a great Christian. The secret? Whatever God wants you to do, just do it!
Philip did not question God’s wisdom. He knew that God knew what He was doing. Too many times, when God touches our lives with 80 miles of our own hard journey, we question God and grumble about the hard spot God has put us in. Not so with Philip. He was wise in heart and just accepted the command.
He knew God’s hand was in the journey. By the way, God’s hand is also in your journey.
