Sometimes it’s a whisper. Sometimes it’s a shove. But when the Holy Spirit prompts us, we know it. And yet—many of us still hesitate.
In Acts 8, Philip felt the Spirit say, “Go,” and he ran. Not walked. Not waited. Ran. And because he obeyed immediately, an Ethiopian official heard the gospel and was baptized. But how often do we second-guess the Spirit’s leading like the author of this devotional did? We reason it away, fear awkwardness, or delay just long enough to miss the moment altogether.
This is a call to pay attention—and respond in faith. That small nudge to check on someone, send a message, or walk across the street may be exactly the divine appointment God has prepared.
When have you followed—or ignored—the Spirit’s prompting?
What did you learn from the outcome?
How can we become more responsive to His voice?
“Philip ran to him… ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’” – Acts 8:30
