Bible Verse
Acts 8:26-39 NIV84
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. The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.” The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?” And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
Bible Verse
Acts 8:4-8 NIV84
Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. So there was great joy in that city.

My FAITH Journey Prayer
Heavenly Father, I look up at You today asking for the privilege of being able to seek You out, no matter how impossible it might seem because of my situations or difficulties in my life right now. I want to be so close to you today…that I can actually hear you and feel you leading me. Today Lord, I want to go where you want me to…I want to join you in a FAITH Journey. I realize You can and do use even someone like me -- if I am willing to be used, and if I am willing to lay down my own fears and trust You. I stand on the edge of your cliff- and I feel the excitement of what you have in store…I am wanting your word so that I can obey and GO. I am looking to listen to your timing and not my own - knowing what lies ahead will be beyond my wildest imaginings - and that every step of the way You will be my guide. Lord please use me today and every day as you lead me through a Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him. Amen
