In Acts 9 we read the story of Saul's life changing experience which changed him from being a man who once destroyed Christians and after his experience went on to write a large portion of the new testament.
This story is not just just about Saul however, it also includes a man named Ananais who was instructed to go and help restore Saul's vision. This wouldn't have been an easy task for Ananais to accept as a christian knowing that Saul destroyed people like him. However, Ananais went and did what God asked.
The story tells of great obedience, and shows just how miraculous He can be when we obey Him. Saul obeyed God's instruction when He told him to go to the city, and Ananais obeyed when God told him to go and meet Saul. Thanks to the great obedience of both of these men, we saw a man changed and go on to lead many more to Christ.
How much can happen when you are obedient to God? When we are obedience God can fulfil the miraculous in our lives. As part of our journal we are asked to talk to God about areas we struggle to trust Him with. Part of being obedient to Him, is trusting in Him. We will not obey when we do not trust. I know that for myself I struggle sometimes with my finance and relationships. I sometimes try to do things my own way and not His way. I know that I have to trust Him completely and follow His ways with thse things, however, at times, this can be difficult. It's something that I am working on and hopefully will have breakthrough with over the next coming weeks and with our womens connect event coming up.
Thankful for: Wisdom
I have spent the night with a few people, one who has quite a lot of wisdom when it comes to "the beginning of the earth". I'm thankful for wisdom because without it, life could be very confusing! I don't know everything myself, but I know there are others who are wise around me who can help me where I get lost.
