An Amazing Thing Happened on the Way to Damascus

Morning: Psalm 19; Isaiah 45:18-25; Philippians 3:4b-11

Evening: Psalm 119:89-112; Acts 9:1-22

Amazingly, St. Paul’s Conversion changed the world. Saul, arch-enemy of the early Church, encountered God so dramatically that he became history’s greatest champion of the most significant human phenomenon of the last 2000 years in the West, the Jesus Movement. In spite of Paul’s learning that he must suffer for his new-found faith, what happened to him that day empowered the rest of his life. I believe Paul experienced deep forgiveness in Jesus that prepared him for anything. Trying to be faithful? Be ready for surprises ... Love confronts and forgives your failings then, right away, calls you to serve!
