Who's protocol, rules and normality?

Tuesday July 19th, Acts 8: 30Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. 31"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. God sent Philip and Philip went with the flow. Never mind that there were rules against associating with an Ethiopian Eunuch, never mind that they did not know each other, never mind that the guy didn’t know anything about the scripture, Philip opened his heart to God and God’s love and helped him. In doing so he also opened the Ethiopians heart to God. Perhaps we can learn from this that all the protocol, all the rules, everything that is considered normal, though not bad, are not always God’s protocol, rules or normality. Perhaps what God needs from us is to be more open to the God side of the equation.
