A life Uncertain!

"And see, now I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there.
Except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish
my race with joy, and the ministry whichI recieved from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel
of the grace of God"
Acts 20:22-24

A Spirit filled Christian life does not always mean a life that is perfectly visible through the human eyes or a life well planned.
Paul testifies that he has no clue as to what would happen to him, yet he trusted God seeing a greater glory that was awaiting him.

When Philip was instructed by the Holy Spirit to minister to the Ethiopian, he had to literally race with the chariot to catch up with it.
Whe he finally baptised the eunuch, the Spirit of the Lord caught him away, so that the eunuch saw him no more. (Acts 8:26-40).
Philip was found at Azotus which was miles away!!! And the Lord used him beautifully in the place he was led to.But he obviously was not ready for the vanishing trick!
What a life of surprises!
Be it good or bad, pleasant or sorrowful, or sometimes even shameful- it is always for the glory of the Majesty!

We do not always know what would happen to us in life, it would never move us but will surely help us on our onward Christian race- to finish it as Christ wills!
