I'm thinking today of Acts 9 -7. This is amongst
the story of Saul's conversion to Paul. It says,
Acts 9 -7, the men who traveled with him stood
speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no
one. Sometimes the conversation between someone
and Jesus is or was meant to be for them alone.
Here, enough happened that they were sure something
happened without knowing exactly what had happened.
It left them speechless, but not mute, just perplexed
in the point of saying nothing. It's that feeling
that should come over kids when the adults are
talking and the conversation is inherently significant.
The ache, the emotion, and the anticipation of
what comes next. They didn't see Jesus, but apparently
Paul did. They didn't know what was going on,
but from the beginning, Paul asked questions
and got answers. These were not saints. None
of these people were saints. And this conversation
was not among them or about them getting saved.
I wonder what would become of them. But for this
moment in time, it is significant that they were
held without anything to say while Paul was getting
direction from the Lord. We're not always going
to be privy to someone else's conversation. You
listen to what Jesus is saying to you. Make sure
it's him, and then follow him. whatever he says.
Just a quick reminder, we've now entered Grand
Prix season at New Heights Fellowship Baptist
Church, and there are Grand Prix workshops scheduled.
