Acts 9:11 (NKJV) 11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.
Take a close look at, “the Lord said to him.”
You see, when the Lord says it to us, that is what counts. That is what we need to pay attention to.
We will hear many things and many ways of doing things in this life, but when the Lord says to us to do something a certain way, that is when we need to take note and obey. Notice that He gives specifics. That is how He is. He doesn’t leave us empty, wondering, not knowing.
Now, Ananias was a disciple at Damascus, and the Lord came to Him in a vision. Ananias replied to the Lord, “Here I am”! He was ready to listen.
When the Lord told him what he was to do, Ananias began to explain to the Lord some things regarding Saul of Tarsus that he was concerned about.
Acts 9:13 (NKJV) 13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
How many of us do this? The Lord places something on our hearts to do, and we begin to question Him and what He is asking of us.
I know I’m talking to myself today as well. This is a problem among almost all of us. We think we have to explain in detail what could happen to us if we take the steps the Lord is asking us to take.
The Lord did reassure Ananias that everything would be alright.
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.
Our job is not to question or doubt, or even need an explanation. But to move and to move accordingly. To accept the task, trusting Him. Putting our concerns aside and following His leading.
He will give us specifics when we need them. He will be more than faithful to show us what we need to do when He needs to.
Don’t hesitate. Just do what He shows us. And then when the time is right, He will show us the next move.
Don’t forget Who we are dealing with! Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Alpha & Omega, Jehovah Jireh, El Shaddai, Almighty God is He!
Follow. Don’t feel the need to question or educate Him! He knows. Amen.
