Take Action, Day 8

Expect the unexpected. Read Acts chapter 8.

As we read through the actions of the early church, we can truly say that none of them expected that this would be what happened. They weren’t expecting to be forced into hiding. They weren’t planning to have to run for their lives. They hadn’t expected to be outcasts. They were simply following Jesus. Phillip was just following Jesus and God took him out to meet a man from another country and to help him understand the message of Jesus. Then God whisked him away again. Imagine the surprise for the Ethiopian. Image the surprise for Phillip!

When we are taking action for God, we must recognize that he’s not exactly “normal” in what he does or why he does it. We must continue to be faithful to him in every way, knowing that we should just expect the unexpected. Are we being faithful to God and are we allowing him to move in was that take us completely off guard?
