The Touch of Healing
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.—Matthew 8:3 (NIV)
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.—Acts 8:29 (KJV)
Philip is a wonderful example of taking action without needing to know the reason why. He had no idea what he might encounter. He simply knew God wanted him to go. Is God nudging you to do something that you may not completely understand? Follow Philip’s lead—and take action.
Forgive me, Lord, for the many times I’ve been hesitant in following Your lead. Give me the courage to budge whenever You nudge.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17 (NIV)
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!—Amos 5:24 (NIV)
