The Place of Obedience
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see
nothing.
Acts 9:8a
There is a place of obedience for all of us. For Paul, it was being
struck blind on the Damascus road. God literally knocked him off his
horse with a blinding light. A voice from Heaven asked Paul why he was
persecuting Him (Jesus). When Paul arose, he could not see. Jesus told
him to go to Damascus and meet a man named Ananias. There, Jesus
restored Paul's sight through Ananias.
Each of us has a place of obedience. For some, it requires only a nudge
of pressure to gently lead us toward God. For others of us, a lightning
bolt is necessary to get our undivided attention. Many who are
hard-hearted rebel against the living God. Yet God's love for these
individuals is so great that He takes extreme measures to gain their
attention-and their hearts. When you come in contact with people like
this, do not fear their arrogance. Instead, see them as God sees them-as
people who need the Savior and who could be a powerful force in the
Kingdom if God saved them. It is a sign to begin praying for them.
We've all heard the saying, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
In many cases this is true. God has called many hard cases into His
Kingdom through miraculous circumstances in order to save their lives
from the pit of hell and transform them into a sweet-smelling fragrance.
Do not let the hard exterior fool you. These are needy people who are
crying out for help in their own prideful way.
Whenever God begins this process in the life of a sinner, He has others
standing by to assist. Ananias was the person in Paul's life. He found
it unbelievable that Paul really could have been saved. An angel had to
convince him. Has God placed such an individual in your path? Perhaps
God desires to use you to be an "Ananias" in the life of one of His
wayward children. To do so requires a willingness to come alongside that
one who needs your help. Who knows, that person could be the next
apostle Paul.
