How many of us would have had the faith to do this?

Acts 9:6-18(NKJV)

So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 

Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 

And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 

And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 

And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.”

But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 

Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

Paul has a reputation as being vicious against believers of Jesus.  Paul thinks nothing of having them put to death left and right.  In fact Paul goes out of his way to get the believers.  And now Jesus is telling Ananias to go help Paul.  Can you see why Ananias would be hesitant?

Now I doubt God is ever going to put any of us in a situation like that but God will ask us to do things that take faith.  Do we have the faith to answer God's call no matter how uncomfortable it makes us? 

That kind of faith starts with asking Jesus to lead us.  Have you done that yet?  Why not do it right now?  Just have a conversation with Jesus.  "Dear Jesus…."
