English term or phrase: didn’t question the wisdom of going
Unquestioning Obedience (Acts 8:27a)
“… and he arose and went.”
The focus here might be Philip’s willingness to do what he was told without question. He was told to “go toward the south …” and he did that. He left a busy city area (reference the verses prior to this passage) and went to a desert area. He had no idea why he was to go. Human nature would have wanted to know why but he ***didn’t question the wisdom of going***. He didn’t try to come up with excuses for not going. He was told to go; he went.
