So Philip started out. On his way he met an Ethiopian official. The man had an important position in charge of all the wealth of the Kandake. Kandake means queen of Ethiopia. This official had gone to Jerusalem to worship.On his way home he was sitting in his chariot. He was reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.The Holy Spirit told Philip,“ Go to that chariot. Stay near it.”So Philip ran up to the chariot. He heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet.“ Do you understand what you’re reading?” Philip asked.“ How can I?” he said.“ I need someone to explain it to me.” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.Here is the part of Scripture the official was reading. It says,“ He was led like a sheep to be killed. Just as lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off, he did not open his mouth.When he was treated badly, he was refused a fair trial. Who can say anything about his children? His life was cut off from the earth.”( Isaiah 53:7, 8)The official said to Philip,“ Tell me, please. Who is the prophet talking about? Himself, or someone else?”Then Philip began with that same part of Scripture. He told him the good news about Jesus.As they traveled along the road, they came to some water. The official said,“ Look! Here is water! What can stop me from being baptized?”

My son, accept my words. Store up my commands inside you.Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.

Through love and truth sin is paid for. People avoid evil when they have respect for the Lord.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom. Blessed is the one who gains understanding.Wisdom pays better than silver does. She earns more than gold does.She is worth more than rubies. Nothing you want can compare with her.Long life is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are pleasant ways. All her paths lead to peace.She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her. Those who hold her close will be blessed.
