Acts 8:29
The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.”

When Philip joined the man in the chariot he ended up being just the one who could make a difference in the life of the man operating it. Are you open to the Holy Spirit’s voice? First of all, you have to be listening and that takes practice. Are you paying attention to your inner-voice? Secondly, are you taking time to nurture an “inner-life” through daily periods of scripture reading and silence? Thirdly, it also takes time to figure out if the voice you are hearing is actually just your voice or your ego speaking. If the voice is asking you to do something that will be a channel of love, mercy, forgiveness or compassion…or if it is prompting you to take action in the name of justice…then perhaps it is the voice of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit’s voice will never be harsh or demeaning. It will never be belittling nor will it have personal gain as an objective. When we are attuned to the Spirit’s voice…we are led to build the kingdom of God.
