Divine Appointments and God's Perfect Timing - Day 3: Prepared for Your Moment
Day 3: Prepared for Your Moment
Reading: Acts 8:29-35; Ephesians 2:10
Devotional:
God had been preparing the Ethiopian his entire life for this roadside encounter. His education enabled him to read. His position allowed him to travel. His wealth purchased the scroll. His spiritual hunger drove him to Jerusalem. Even his disappointment with empty religion positioned his heart to receive truth. Nothing in your life is wasted in God's economy. Every experience, every hardship, every season of seeking—God is weaving preparation into your story. You are being primed to recognize and respond when Truth intersects your journey. Philip ran to meet the chariot because he recognized divine timing. Are you positioned to act when God speaks? The Ethiopian was ready because God had been working long before Philip arrived. Trust that God is preparing you even now for appointments you cannot yet imagine.
