Everything was going smoothly as the rollercoaster rumbled up the track then all of a sudden everything changed. Everything was going well and all of a sudden God spoke and said, “Follow me.” What would you do? Everything was going well then God spoke and said, “go.” The work in the church and the community was productive and very exciting. This was true of Philip as he served God in Samaria until God told him to go and he went by faith believing that God’s purposes were his agenda. We read Philip’s story in Acts chapter 8 which sounds similar to Joshua and the people as they marched around the city of Jericho in Joshua chapter 6. The similarity is that they followed God even though it did not make sense. Serving and following God does not decrease the times of uncertainty but increases the opportunities to live a life of faith for God. This road of faith may look different for each of us, but it still requires the same faith in God alone. Your life may be going well, then God calls. He is pleased when we respond by faith to Him even though the uncertainties do not make sense and the impossibilities seem insurmountable. The road of faith may seem more like a rollercoaster… and when it does hang on because God is going to give you the ride of your life as you trust Him completely.
