Bible Verse of the Day – 1-12-23

Acts 9:10 (NKJV) 10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

Ananias was chosen by God to go and see Saul of Tarsus.

Saul had brought much harm and suffering to God’s people in Jerusalem, and the word had spread about him. So, Ananias was very much aware of Saul.

He was reluctant about what God had asked him to do, but he knew he must go.

Wow! This says a lot about Ananias.

Sometimes God will ask us to do things and we may feel the same way Ananias did. We may even ask God, “are You sure about this?”.

Can you imagine Ananias and what he was going through?

If it was me, I’d be like, “You want me to go where and do what? But he has a bad reputation? Are You sure?”.

Well, God reassured Ananias that it was OK for him to go, that Saul was a chosen vessel of His and all would be fine.

He will do the same for us if we have any concerns about some things that we are chosen to do.

Because God had reassured him, Ananias obeyed God and followed through.

Acts 9:15 (NKJV) 15 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.

How about us?

Will we say, “here I am Lord,” and then follow through when He impresses on our hearts to do something a bit uncomfortable?
