The Light That Found You
The Light That Found You
Tuesday
"As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' And I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.' Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me. And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.' And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus."
— Acts 22:6-11 (ESV)
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
— 2 Corinthians 4:6 (ESV)

Reflection:
Saul wasn't searching for Jesus that day. He was hunting His people. Yet Jesus took the persecution of His church personally ("why are you persecuting me?") and then took the persecutor into His arms. Your story may not include a blinding light at noon, but if you belong to Christ, the same God who spoke light into creation has shone into your heart. Salvation always starts with God's call, not our cleverness. That's why a testimony is really a story about Him.

Consider:
How did God first get your attention? Who or what did He use?

Pray:
Thank You, Jesus, for coming after me when I wasn't looking for You.
