Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and
murder against the disciples of the Lord,
went to the high priest and asked him for
letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so
that if he found any who belonged to the
Way, men or women, he might bring them
bound to Jerusalem.
–Acts 9:1-2

The first time we meet Saul he is looking on approvingly as the crowd stones Stephen to death (see Acts 7:59-8:1).

Since that first encounter, his hatred of the Way has only intensified. In Saul’s world there is no place for followers of Jesus. He despises them so much he is willing to make the 150 mile journey from Jerusalem to Damascus to arrest any disciples he finds there.

But something happened on the way to Damascus.

Somewhere between Jerusalem and Damascus Saul was transformed by an encounter with Christ.

Christ is still in the business of transforming the lives of women and men.
What transformation might he want to work in your life?

Today, ask God to reveal one area of your life where he wants to make a deep change.

Maybe the change God wants to make in your life is how you respond to the frustrations and annoyances of life. Maybe God wants to change how you deal with your wounds.

Maybe God wants to change how you view and interact with the “other” who ever they may be.

Be open to what ever area of your life God wants to work in.

Ask God to bring the needed area of change into your awareness and for the Spirit to begin work of transformation from the inside out.
