Todays Prayer Dear God, People are always asking me How are you? Most of the time, it is just a greeting. They really dont want to know how I am. I admit that in a rush, Ill pass by someone and greet him or her with a Hi. How are you doing? Even though I care, I dont really expect to spend a long time in conversation to get all the details of how that person really is doing. Thats sad. Please help me to be willing to sacrifice a little of my time and to take a few moments to offer a sincere and caring response. Maybe I should just say, Fine...and how can I help you today? or Been a little under the weather, but doing great today. May I help you... or May I pray for you... or whatever you lay upon my heart to say and do. I want to give a more personal touch...to be a blessing to others and show your love in my response. In Jesus name I thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obeying the Spirit of God TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1, by Os Hillman 03-13-2014 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Go south to the road - the desert road - that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. - Acts 8:26 Philip was conducting what we might today call a revival meeting. God was blessing the meeting, and many were being healed and delivered from demonic influence. Here is the scene: 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 (Acts 8:5-8). And yet, in the midst of this great event, the Holy Spirit spoke to Philip and told him to remove himself and go to a completely different area to speak to one individual. Philip was so sensitive to the directive of the Holy Spirit that he left what would be deemed a successful event to go speak to another - an Ethiopian eunuch. The result of his obedience was that Philip led the eunuch to faith in Christ and baptized him. The Lord then took Philip away supernaturally to another region many miles away. Gods ways of determining where we invest our time and energy often have little to do with results. The danger for each of us is to determine that we are in the center of Gods will simply by the success or failure of the events we are involved in. Our plumb line for determining success can be only one thing: obedience. Philip responded in obedience to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Are you listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit? Has God prompted you to speak, go, or come alongside another? Ask God today to help you hear the Holy Spirits voice so that you might be used mightily in your workplace.
