Rocky Roads

an interlocking rubaiyat Near Damascus, Saul's hatred met its end; he soon discovered darkness is no friend. God deemed young Ananias the best guy to tell Saul of the plan He'd recommend. "Saul will kill me," was this believer's cry. "What could I do? I'm certain I would die." And he was right, it's God that does the work but fear weighs heavy, makes it hard to try. Saul was a zealot in tradition's bind. It's hard to see when customs leave you blind; Saul was a Pharisee of great renown, determined and with vengeance on his mind. Ananias' trust made a turn-a-round; Saul's fight took on focus when Light he found. In time, conversion helped both comprehend fervor survives a rocky battleground. October 22, 2021
