Scripture: Acts 9:1–20
In a world full of division, digital noise, and blurred identities, many find themselves walking down a path like Saul — fueled by passion, yet blind to truth. Saul’s journey to Damascus was meant to intensify his mission against Christians, but a divine interruption changed everything. He was struck by a great light — not just to blind him, but to awaken him.
"Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice…" (Acts 9:3–4)
This was more than a dramatic event; it was a spiritual reset. Saul’s physical blindness symbolized his spiritual condition — driven by zeal but lacking divine insight. In our time, how often do we confidently pursue goals without divine direction? Like Saul, we may need a moment of holy disruption.
But the transformation didn’t stop with the light. God sent Ananias, an ordinary believer, to lay hands on Saul. That act of obedience led to the falling of spiritual scales and the birth of Paul, the apostle to the nations.
Three lessons for today:
-
Divine Encounters Disrupt but Don't Destroy
God's interruptions are often the beginning of purpose, not punishment. -
Blindness Can Be a Blessing
When we stop relying on our own vision, we make room for God's direction. -
Obedience Unlocks Miracles
Ananias didn't know the full story but his simple "yes" unleashed global impact.
In today's darkness — social injustice, emotional pain, or spiritual apathy — Jesus is still appearing in brilliant light, breaking chains, and raising new voices of truth. Will you let Him redirect your path?
Prayer:
Lord, shine Your light into my path. Interrupt my plans if they do not align with Yours. Make me a vessel of Your truth, just like Paul. Amen.
