Many of us
look for opportunities to witness and testify to others about Jesus, but with
the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders those doors of opportunity are closed. It
occurs to me that what I previously viewed as opportunities could be situations
of my own making, rather than the Spirit leading me to someone. “Now an angel
of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes
down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” So he started out, and on his way he met an
Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of
Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to
worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book
of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that
chariot and stay near it.” Then Philip ran up to the chariot and
heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are
reading?” Philip asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone
explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him” (Acts 8:26-29
NIV).
