God’s choices

Sometimes God really surprises us with the people He decides to save. Saul of Tarsus was one of these. He was a terrible person dragging men and women to prison and torturing some of them to death. He thought he was doing God a good service.

I’m fascinated every time I read this passage. Jesus came down again just to pay this man a personal visit. Later, He referred to him as a chosen vessel with specific purposes he would fulfill for God.

We are all on a journey. Things are always changing, and God has plans for every one of us. Tomorrow things may look totally different than today. Let’s keep our eyes on Him and trust that He will show us the way to the end.

I think heaven will be full of surprises when we see who made it there. As we approach the entrance, we will know we are not worthy to be there either.

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?” “Who are you Lord?”, Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
Acts 9:1-6
