When I was in college, I wrote a weekly column for the student newspaper entitled, "Road to Damascus." I wrote about everything from campus issues to international politics, but I chose that title because it was along the road between Jerusalem and Damascus that Saul encountered the Living Lord and was completely transformed in mind and spirit (Acts 9:1-19). It was a moment of revelation, conversion, surrender and rebirth.
We don't all have Damascus road experiences like Saul had. I have never seen the glory light of heaven or heard the voice of Jesus. But we are all confronted, from time to time, with the unmistakable presence God and His life-changing word. It may happen while reading scripture or during a time of worship. It may come while you are actively seeking God's presence and intentionally listening for His voice. Or you may encounter God in unexpected, startling ways.
God knows how to speak to you. He created you and knows you inside and out. When He is ready to get your attention and speak His truth into your heart, He will. The issue for us is whether we will listen, believe and obey.
