Scripture: Acts 9:15-16

Acts 9:15-16 says, “But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.’” The Apostle Paul was the very one who had been killing and destroying Christians far and wide. In this passage he was suddenly blinded. He fell to the ground and the glory of God encircled him. Nearby an obedient believer named Ananias was instructed to go to a nearby house and lay hands on Paul and bring healing of Paul’s blindness. The Lord clearly directed Ananias in verses 15-16, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.” Suffering was true of Jesus and here we see that it was true of Paul. Know saints, our Father orders our personal destiny as well, and isn’t it time we look on our past as our preparation for all God has waiting ahead?
