having asked directions for

Acts1:6-8 caught my eye this am; I think it can be used as His call to believers, explaining to them the whole nature of the walk of faith. v6 begins with the believer's questions to God. Is this what you are doing? Is this what you want me to do? Is this right? Are you who you say you are? It expresses the believer's constant questioning about His plan, His workings.

v7 gives us His answer. He desires faith. It is not for us to know what He's doing. It is not for us to know the full workings. It is not for us to question. He asks us, He tells us to trust. Faith isn't faith if we already know the answers. Faith is about trust that He has the answer and we trust Him with that answer.

v8 goes further. We are not to do anything but take the faithsteps. And when we do, that is when we will be receiving the Spirit and the power. And once we have that, we are to bring that power to full use to the ends of the earth.

His last words, last set of instructions before the return to glory. How come these parting words are never spoken of?
