"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting." Acts 9:5
Thought Of The Day...
Saul was like an angry bull spewing out hatred and violence against anyone connected to Jesus. But Saul changed when he met Jesus. Saul fell to the ground when "a light from heaven flashed around him." This put him in a position in which he had to listen to God.
To his shock and surprise, Saul "heard a voice say to him, ?Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'" Saul thought he was serving God by persecuting Christians. But the voice said, "Why do you persecute me?" Completely shaken, Saul asked, "Who are you, Lord?" The reply: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting."
Saul had figured that Jesus was in hell for claiming to be the Son of God. But this voice came "from heaven." All of Saul's ideas about Jesus came crashing down as his new Master spoke to him: "Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
As a result, Saul joined a new fellowship. In Damascus, a disciple named Ananias called him "Brother." Saul was baptized, sealing the change in his heart and life, and from that day onward he preached the good news that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
The essentials of all journeys with God are the same --repentance, faith in Jesus, baptism, union with other believers, and witnessing for Christ. Let's pray for clear guidance by the Holy Spirit as we go.
Prayer...
Heavenly Father, As we come before you today, we are reminded of the powerful transformation that took place in the life of Saul in Acts 9:5. We too, like Saul, long to know where you want us to go on the journey of life. We desire to follow your will and be obedient to your commandments.
Lord, we ask for your guidance and wisdom. Open our hearts and minds to your Word and Spirit, so that we may understand the truth and be able to share it with others. Give us courage and boldness to stand up for what is right, even when it may be difficult or against the norm.
Help us to have hearts of compassion and grace, just as you showed towards Saul in his conversion. May we be willing vessels, ready to go wherever you call us and to do your work with joy and enthusiasm.
May your love and light shine through us as we embark on this journey, and may we bring glory to your name in all that we do. We trust in your perfect plan for our lives, and we pray that we will follow your lead every step of the way.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
