Acts 9 is where you find the story of Saul and how Jesus encountered him. It's a story worth reading if you haven't before and worth reading again if you have. It's a story of a un-deniable (especially to those involved) interaction between Jesus and Saul which completely converts a religous zealout who hated and persecuted Christians to a Christian himself. The conversion is so complete that Paul spends the rest of his days spreading the word of Jesus enduring beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, imprisonment and finally death.
Are you waiting for that Saul-Paul moment in your life? I think there are a lot of people who are. Are you looking for the un-deniable interaction; a moment that once happens; you know would change your life?
Would we recognize it if we saw it? Would I, would you?
2 Samuel 22:26 and Psalms 18:25 both state "To the faithful you show yourself faithful..."
Remember that Saul was very faithful to God; he followed all the rules, he knew the Bible (the first five books of the Bible) like the back of his hand. What Saul didn't know, what he didn't understand was that Jesus was God. It took a very impressive show of God to show Saul the error of his ways.
What are you doing with your life while you wait for that moment? Are you showing yourself faithful?
