Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21)
When God’s voice gives to a definite command and direction, you need to be prompt to act on it. You can’t delay or postpone His command. Your promotion and greatness are hid in your promptness to act on His voice.
At a certain point in time, God told Philip to run towards the desert way which is from Jerusalem to Gaza. God was specific of the time and he was specific of the path. When Philip obeyed God, he ended up meeting with the Ethiopian eunuch, he conveyed the gospel to the eunuch and the gospel reached Africa. All this was the strategy of God executed by Philip. Here is the point, Philip was sensitive and prompt to the leading and the guidance of God. He didn’t waste time or didn’t postpone rather he acted on time.
There are many who being insensitive towards the leading of God’s voice lose their miracle, job, project, important divine connections etc. Their delay to act on God’s voice costs them greatly. Let this tragedy not happen to you. Practice acting promptly on the voice of God when it reaches you from various ways that is the way to get sensitive towards the timings of God’s Spirit.
Praise:
Thank you for your word is ever present in my life! Your voice guides me, your word leads me. I yield myself more and more to you each day. I love you and live my life for you. Glory to your majestic Name forever and ever!
