Divine Appointment

Acts 8:26-29 
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

When God moved Philip to go to a remote road, he did not ask why he should go to where no people lived, nor did he ask if he had enough resources or if if could be dangerous.  He simply went as directed.  There God brought him to an important man, a treasurer of a queen, who happened to be traveling by as he read Isaiah from the scriptures.  God's Spirit then moved Philip to run up to the man as he was moving along.  So he did.
