A Future for God's People
Turn to Me and Be Saved

Acts 9:3-6, 10-18 (The Message)
 ^3-4He set off. When he got to the outskirts of Damascus, he was suddenly dazed by a blinding flash of light. As he fell to the ground, he heard a voice: "Saul, Saul, why are you out to get me?"
 ^5-6He said, "Who are you, Master?"
   "I am Jesus, the One you're hunting down. I want you to get up and enter the city. In the city you'll be told what to do next."

¹⁰There was a disciple in Damascus by the name of Ananias. The Master spoke to him in a vision: "Ananias."
   "Yes, Master?" he answered.
 ^11-12"Get up and go over to Straight Avenue. Ask at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus. His name is Saul. He's there praying. He has just had a dream in which he saw a man named Ananias enter the house and lay hands on him so he could see again."
 ^13-14Ananias protested, "Master, you can't be serious. Everybody's talking about this man and the terrible things he's been doing, his reign of terror against your people in Jerusalem! And now he's shown up here with papers from the Chief Priest that give him license to do the same to us."
 ^15-16But the Master said, "Don't argue. Go! I have picked him as my personal representative to non-Jews and kings and Jews. And now I'm about to show him what he's in for—the hard suffering that goes with this job."
 ^17-19So Ananias went and found the house, placed his hands on blind Saul, and said, "Brother Saul, the Master sent me, the same Jesus you saw on your way here. He sent me so you could see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." No sooner were the words out of his mouth than something like scales fell from Saul's eyes—he could see again! He got to his feet, was baptized, and sat down with them to a hearty meal


For Reflection
Unlikely ministers, that's what we all are. Imperfect in need of revelation and God's miraculous hand.  Have you heard God's word?  Have your eyes been opened?

Pray
that you will be open to the will of God.  Pray for God's guidance.
