Don't let anythng stop you!

Event: Phillip and the Ethiopian

S - Scripture

Acts 8 v. 36 And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?"

O - Observation
No stoppers. This verse reminds me of two key concepts. 1) Nothing should prevent you from acting as an agent of the Lord. You do not have to be a paid "professional", pastor, DCE, worship leader, to take part in growing the kingdom. Phillip didn't say, "Well let's get you back to Jerusalem where the rest of my church is. No check out the verse  before. Acts 8 v. 35, "Then Phillip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus." 2) Nothing should get in the way of a child like faith. The eunuch displayed this when upon hearing the good news logically, matter of factly said, here's water, I want to get baptized. There was no humming or hawing. Just a childlike reaction to the good news.

A - Application
What's stopping me?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Let me follow through with the opportunities you give me. Help me to have faith like a child.    Love Will
