September 11
Running with Jesus  

Acts 9:1-2  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

     We meet up with Saul who was more determined to get rid of Christ followers. We have to remember this was not just a government man but a highly trained religious man who thought he could interpret the law of God and actually was doing a good thing in the name of religion.
     You can be religiously wrong and Satan can use you to do his dirty work. There are religious people who are helping pass laws that are contrary to the true God of the Bible. They are operating from their own ideology and are destroying our great nation. Their hearts are far from God and the real truth.
     Saul was doing all this evil to Christians in the name of religion. Saul's eyes were blinded to truth. How do I know this, we will see his conversion experience in the morning. Let us pray for government leaders today and ask God to open their eyes to the truth about salvation and God.
               

Father, open the eyes of our leaders and help them come to know You as personal Savior. Drive out religion that can't discern truth and bring true born again salvation to these blinded souls.  Give us some of that old time religion that will take us all to heaven. Keep law makers in office that know and understand the truth about Jesus being the Messiah, the Savior of the world.

Saul's Damascus road experience,  in the morning.  Meet me there!
