Hebrews 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to
do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
While on the road to Damascus, Jesus appeared to Saul, blinded
him and directed him to go to Damascus. There, God spoke to Ananias of Saul
and told to lay hands on this troubled man. Ananias did as he commanded and
Saul was filled with the Holy Spirit, healed of his blindness and
immediately baptized.
In another instance, while Cornelius was praying, God sent an
angel to tell him "Go and find Peter and he shall tell you what you need to
do." Cornelius, along with his household and friends, did what he
commanded, and God used Peter to bring them all into the Kingdom!
God could have easily brought both Saul and Cornelius into the
Kingdom without the intervention of any believer – but that was not His
plan. He used Ananias, Peter and countless others to finish what He had
already started!
In the same way, God wants to include us in His plans! He has
been speaking to people in our families, neighborhoods, offices and
everywhere else we go! He has been drawing them gently and He wants us to
be a part of their salvation!
God still speaks to his people, does he
not? And we are his sheep and know His voice, do we not? Let's start being
used by the Lord for His great purposes -- let's be open to hearing His
direction! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
