Acts 9:3-8 As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground & heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?” “Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. “Now get up & go into the city, & you will be told what you must do.” The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. — God has a definite way of getting our attention! — Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness & examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. — The question is are we willing to receive with great eagerness? —Prov 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, & he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, & he will increase in learning. — Listening & learning from God are critical to our becoming wiser! —James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, & it will be given to you. James 3:17 The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy & good fruit, impartial & sincere. Examine it! Love Mel
