Ready to respond

Daily Grace

In Acts 9:17, Ananias, explains to Paul that that Paul has been sent to him to regain his sight. Later, when Paul shares his vision with Timothy and Silas, they respond immediately, confirming that this is God speaking.

In my own experience, traveling companions have also been important. God finds a way to guide us, whether we are listening or not, whether we are seeking or running in the opposite direction. Because like Paul, God has important ministry in mind for each of our lives, good news to be shared with those we live, work and play with. May we be ready to see and respond to the visions God brings for our lives.

This message is an excerpt from “Faith reflections: the work of god in human failure” by Collette Broady Grund, posted by Café on October 2, 2012. Today we remember Luke, the evangelist.
