"Whose heart the Lord opened"(Acts 16:14).
Lydia's conversion was brought about by providential circumstances. She was a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira, but she was in Philippi just at the right time to hear Paul. Providence, which is the handmaid of grace, led her to the right spot. Grace was preparing her soul for the blessing. She did not know the Savior, but since she was Jewish, she knew many truths which were excellent stepping stones to a knowledge of Jesus. On the Sabbath she went where prayer was to be made, and there prayer was heard. God may bless us when we are not in His house, but we have greater reason to hope that He will when we are in communion with His saints. Observe the words, "Whose heart the Lord opened." She did not open her own heart. Her prayer did not do it, and Paul did not do it. The Lord Himself must open the heart to receive the things which bring us peace. He is the heart's Master because He is the heart's Maker. The first outward evidence of the opened heart was obedience. As soon as Lydia believed in Jesus, she was baptized. It is a sweet sing of a humble and broken heart when the child of God is willing to obey a command which is not essential to his salvation of forced upon him by a selfish fear of condemnation. Lydia's baptism was a simple act of obedience and of communion with her Master. The next evidence was love, manifesting itself on acts of grateful kindness to the apostles. Love for the saints has always been a mark of the true convert. Those who do nothing for Christ or His Church give poor evidence of an open heart. Lord, give me an open heart toward You.
