Have you ever tried to change someone's mind? It is nearly impossible once they have made it up.
The conversion of Saul is an amazing story of how God called Saul, a man stubbornly set on destroying the Gospel and the church, and CHANGED HIS HEART.
God's call is UNSTOPPABLE. We can try to resist, but Scripture tells us that God's will is inevitable and he has power over even the most stubborn human hearts!
Proverbs 21:1:
The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord;
he turns it wherever he will.
But what does this incredible story of Saul have to do with us?
If we are not careful, our own hearts can become stubborn. We can often RESIST God's call and direction instead of EMBRACING it!
But God will not be stopped, and nothing we do can change the fact that we desperately need Him in our lives.
Saul's story serves as a reminder for us, that it is never too late to start listening to God, and turning our disobedience into faithfulness, our dismissal of God into appreciation of God.
Don't let your own mission drown out God's call to follow Him!
