Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against
the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to
the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way,
men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching
Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying
to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?”
The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will
be told what you are to do.” The men who
were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw
no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could
see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight, and
neither ate nor drank (Acts 9:1-12, NRSV).
Have you always had a strong sense of
who God is, or has it been a process of discovery? Ask God, “Who are you,
Lord?” and reflect on what emerges.
