Who Are You, Lord?

Bible in a Year: Genesis 18-19, Matthew 6:1-18

"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.
Acts 9:5

Today's Scripture & Insight: Acts 9:1-9

At age sixteen, Luis Rodriguez had already been in jail for selling crack. But now, arrested for attempted murder, he was in prison again—looking at a life sentence. But God spoke into his guilty circumstances. Behind bars, young Luis remembered his early years when his mother had faithfully taken him to church. He now felt God tugging at his heart. Luis eventually repented of his sins and came to Jesus.

In the book of Acts, we meet a zealous Jewish man named Saul, who was also called Paul. He was guilty of aggravated assault on believers in Jesus and had murder in his heart (Acts 9:1). There's evidence he was a kind of gang leader, and part of the mob at the execution of Stephen (7:58). But God spoke into Saul's guilty circumstances—literally. On the street leading into Damascus, Saul was blinded by a light, and Jesus said to him, "Why do you persecute me?" (9:4). Saul asked, "Who are you, Lord?" (v. 5), and that was the beginning of his new life. He came to Jesus.

Luis Rodriguez served time but eventually was granted parole. Since then, he's served God, devoting his life to prison ministry in the United States and Central America.

God specializes in redeeming the worst of us. He tugs at our hearts and speaks into our guilt-drenched lives. Maybe it's time we repent of our sins and come to Jesus.

Reflect & Pray
What guilt are you experiencing or have experienced? How do you sense God is calling or has called you back to Himself?

Jesus, I've strayed from You, but I feel You tugging at my heart. Forgive me of my sins, I pray.
Who Are You, Lord?
