Today’s thoughts by Deborah Ard.
This week I am sharing thoughts about Paul from the Bible. Please take a moment to read today’s featured scripture.
Did you read it? Did you see how God turned around Saul’s (Paul’s) story and flipped his script? Saul was anti-Christianity. Saul was arresting and persecuting followers of The Way — believers of Christ. While on the road to Damascus, God truly stopped him in his tracks and confronted him. After being blinded and healed, Saul (Paul) became a vocal and active part of the spread of Christ’s church.
No matter how far we believe we or our loved ones have fallen, God’s redemption is possible. Tara Leigh Cobble wrote in the Bible Recap page 665 — Saul’s story is evidence that when God wants someone, they’re His…God has the final word. Saul wasn’t pursuing God; he was actively rebelling against Him. But still, he was captured by the God of the universe and caught up in the greatest redemption story the human heart has ever known.
Guess what! God will go to the same great lengths for you and me. In fact He has already moved heaven and earth by sending His son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Jesus died so we can have eternal life. He died so that we can have a relationship with our loving Heavenly Father. For that, I am eternally thankful. How are you expressing your thankfulness to God today?

Pray with me. Dear God, thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for sending Your son Jesus, Christ to die for my sins and provide a way for me to have eternal life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
