Faith Capsule: The arresting light of God re-route life journey.

Acts 9

At the timing of God to call anyone, there will be nowhere to hide or run from God not to answer.
Have you been running away from the calling of God?
Regardless of how long you have been running from God, there will be an appointed time to catch one running from Him.
To run or hide from the assignment of God can be working against the work of God.
Saul (Apostle Paul) ran against the work of God.
Saul was going against believers to persecute them when God arrested him. 
Acts 9:1-2 records, “Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” 
Saul (Apostle Paul) purposed evil, but God disposed of his plan when he came under the arrest of Jesus.
Saul took to a dark avenue against God, but the light of God arrested him.
Acts 9:3 records, “As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.” 
The light of God around Saul exposed him to arrest him by answering to the calling of God, “And he said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ Then the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’” So he trembling and astonished said, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’” (Acts 9:5-6)   
The arresting light of God re-routed the life journey of Saul.
Saul had his name changed from Saul to Paul. 
Above all, the light which arrested Saul empowered him to live his remaining life under the unfailing light of God. 
With the light on him, he could not misstep in the calling of God upon his life. 
Walking into darkness failed in the life of Paul.
The light that brought Saul out from darkness gave him new spiritual eyesight. 
The light became the compass for Paul as he operated heaven on earth through all his life.
Are you running from the calling of God?
With God, there is no darkness to deny light from exposing one that is running or hiding from God. 
Now is time for you to stop running from the calling of God upon your life.
God will back you up when He calls you. 
Be encouraged by the word of 1 Thessalonians 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”  

Prayer for today: Ask for the light of God to shine on you that you may fully answer His calling upon your life.
