“‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭26‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Paul’s entirely unanticipated first-hand encounter with Jesus resulted in a devotional flip-flop on the spot. 

Once a man literally after God’s faithful people he instantly switched to a man after God’s own heart. 

What a difference a day makes. 

If you’ve ever prayed for a visible sign of God’s presence—your own road to Damascus moment—take a number.

Signs are everywhere and they occur largely unreported on social media.

Western culture is so bountiful in blessings that much of what may be called  signs or miracles elsewhere are obscured and just taken for granted here. 

God still speaks, shows up, and rescues his chosen and it’s up to us to credit his movement in our lives beyond each blessing. 

Focusing less on his show and considerably more on his mission is the most purposeful takeaway here.
