God had sent Philip away from his popular and effective mission in Samaria (Acts 8:5-8), to a desert road (Acts 8:26). The Lord gave no further instruction until Philip saw a chariot with a high-ranking official sitting down and reading a scroll. "Go to that chariot and stay near it", the Lord said (Acts 8:29). As Philip approached, he heard the man, the chief finance minister for Kush (where Sudan is now but then called Ethiopia), reading aloud. The words more closely match the Greek translation of Isaiah chapter 53.

“I start my day with Word@Work, and take it with me throughout the day in my thoughts. A lot of the Scripture I am familiar with, but the commentary usually gives me a new perspective. It's sometimes feels odd on weekends when I have to start my day without Word@Work.”
