Fill in the Blanks

There are many times I wonder why God chooses certain Christians to go or do specific things when there are others that appear to have better qualified. When I feel the Holy Spirit leading me to go or do something my first thought is, you have got to be kidding me? In our morning service, our pastor, Jay Raines, was teaching us about the ordinance of baptism using the scripture found in Acts 8:26-39 (The Conversion of the Ethiopian Official). What caught my immediate attention was what Jay said after he read the question that Philip ask the eunuch (in verse 30), "Do you understand what you're reading?" Jay said, Philip was sent there to fill in the blanks. When the Holy Spirit leads us to go or do something, we may be the only one that is able to fill in the blanks for that particular person. I believe I have the answer to my first statement now. I need to be obedient in order that the Holy Spirit can use me to fill in the blanks.
