Now there was a
disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision,
“Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go
to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of
Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a
man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his
sight.”
So Ananias went and entered the house. He
laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to
you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be
filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from
his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptised, and
after taking some food, he regained his strength. For several days he was with
the disciples in Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the
synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” (Acts 9:10-12, 17-20, NRSV).
Did you give a testimony during your
baptism? What did you proclaim then? What do your words and actions proclaim
about your faith now? Ask God to help align your life more closely to the faith
in which you stand.
