Today’s Reading:
Exodus 30-32, Acts 8
Open Your Mouth – Deena Serafin
Scripture Chosen:
Acts 8:37 "Then Philip opened his
mouth and, beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him."
Observation:
The Holy Spirit sent Philip to Ethiopia for one
man riding in a chariot reading God's word. Philip did 3 things: 1)opened his
mouth, 2)spoke God's word, 3)talked about Jesus. He used the Old Testament- the
New hadn't been written yet! In fact, the author of most of the New Testament
was still on a mission to kill believers. The Ethiopian believed and was
baptized, Philip left, and the Ethiopian went his way rejoicing ( I'm guessing
that Philip was also rejoicing).
Application:
More people than we realize are hungry to hear
the story of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is preparing their hearts to believe. I
need to open my mouth, speak God's word, and introduce them to my Jesus. It's
not complicated.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, lead me to someone today who is
waiting to hear about Jesus, and then help me to open my mouth!
