Running with Jesus

Acts 26:13 "O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
 

     I can never get enough of Paul's conversion experience.  I think as he tells this King his story he can't get enough either. Can you imagine that light from heaven blinding this man who I feel was strong, forceful, and dominating?  God brought this man who was wise in his own eyes to his knees! He was humbled and helpless depending totally on his soldiers to lead him.
     I tell you when God sheds His light on our sin sick heart we will fall to our knees. I have something to say! If you have not been brought to those knees before a Holy God you better examine your life! When His light hits sin it burns until it consumes us! Are you consumed by God's light? Paul never got over it and you will not either friend!
     By now you are untangling those Christmas lights you put away last year or driving down the road seeing the neighbors have lit up their houses, our towns are hanging "Christmas" lights not holiday lights. Let those lights be a reminder that Jesus is the Light of the World. He is the light to lead us to God! Every year I ask God to show me something new or refresh Christmas by helping me see things more clear! This year I shall not see a light on a tree without thinking about Paul's testimony! The light changed his life and the same Light wants to change your life today!
 

Father, thank You for the gift of Light, Jesus, who shined in our hearts so we could find You!
   

Tomorrow: Let’s listen to a mad man!
