We all like to take control of our lives, and that seems normal and natural to us. But the desire of God is that as His beloved children, we be led by His Spirit to be on the path of His plan of success. Things go much easy and results we produce are very instant, for He knows the time and way in which we should move and meet with the right person at the right place. It became quite simple for Philip as he proceeded the way His Spirit was leading him, and not only that, the official who received the good news himself requested for baptism: "Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot." (Acts 8:29); "And when they were come

up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing." (Acts 8:39) May God grant us the ability to hear and walk the way His Spirit instructs, that we may be successful in being the instruments that God can use.

Abba, Thank You for instructing us to be in Your control. Let Your Spirit lead us the way you have decided, In Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.
