Reading God’s Word: Acts 9:10-35; Psalm 104:14-26

Memorizing God’s Word: Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Meditating on God’s Word: Acts 9:13-16 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

Praying God’s Word: Lord, this interaction makes me mindful of times where I am ready to write people off because of their actions. By that measure, I should be written off as well. Despite Saul’s path, you would use Him to become the greatest apostle. Ananias still needed to say yes, and may we say yes also when You call us to serve out Your Will, amen.
