00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540
I'm thinking today of Acts 9 -7. This is amongst

00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:08.640
the story of Saul's conversion to Paul. It says,

00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:11.939
Acts 9 -7, the men who traveled with him stood

00:00:11.939 --> 00:00:15.320
speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.960
one. Sometimes the conversation between someone

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.019
and Jesus is or was meant to be for them alone.

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.980
Here, enough happened that they were sure something

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:27.500
happened without knowing exactly what had happened.

00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:31.420
It left them speechless, but not mute, just perplexed

00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:34.539
in the point of saying nothing. It's that feeling

00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:38.939
that should come over kids when the adults are

00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:41.420
talking and the conversation is inherently significant.

00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:44.659
The ache, the emotion, and the anticipation of

00:00:44.659 --> 00:00:47.899
what comes next. They didn't see Jesus, but apparently

00:00:47.899 --> 00:00:50.920
Paul did. They didn't know what was going on,

00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:54.140
but from the beginning, Paul asked questions

00:00:54.140 --> 00:01:00.560
and got answers. These were not saints. None

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.920
of these people were saints. And this conversation

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.359
was not among them or about them getting saved.

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.359
I wonder what would become of them. But for this

00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.700
moment in time, it is significant that they were

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.620
held without anything to say while Paul was getting

00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:18.459
direction from the Lord. We're not always going

00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:21.260
to be privy to someone else's conversation. You

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:24.280
listen to what Jesus is saying to you. Make sure

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.209
it's him, and then follow him. whatever he says.

00:01:28.269 --> 00:01:31.090
Just a quick reminder, we've now entered Grand

00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:33.670
Prix season at New Heights Fellowship Baptist

00:01:33.670 --> 00:01:36.549
Church, and there are Grand Prix workshops scheduled.

00:01:38.069 --> 00:01:41.689
Reach out. You can text settings to 419 -419

00:01:41.689 --> 00:01:44.730
-0095 and enter yourself in the arts and crafts

00:01:44.730 --> 00:01:48.230
group to receive updates on that topic. Thanks

00:01:48.230 --> 00:01:48.730
and God bless.
