Acts 9
Saul's reputation proceeds him. The Christians are leery to be with him. Their caution is easy to understand. Once he starts preaching, the Jewish leaders seek to stop him. The persecutor becomes the persecuted. This must have been an odd transition for Saul. The Christians aren't very welcoming and the Jews are against him. But Saul just keeps moving forward. His life is not about what others think of him.

I always admire the way Paul kept moving forward -no matter what! I'm sorry to say that it doesn't take much to knock me flat and stop me from doing something important simply because of a little criticism or a few roadblocks. Though it shouldn't have to be so important, I feel very blessed to have support of the church, friends and family in my efforts to do God's will. I wonder what our church/nation/world would be like if the Holy Spirit came upon us all in such a powerful way as it did for Paul!
