“You Want Me To Do What?”
The story of Ananias serving Saul shows us how to decide whether to help someone in distress. When God called Ananias, he responded immediately, “Here am I.” He was ready at God’s call. God wanted Ananias to help a man who had lost his sight, blinded by a bright light from heaven.
But there was a major catch. The man was a Christian-hater who had persecuted God’s saints. So Ananias pushed back. Then God told Ananias that He had chosen Saul (later to be called Paul) to take His Name to both Gentile and Jew.
Ananias believed God, and went to Saul. Calling him “brother Saul,” Ananias laid hands saying “receive your sight.” Saul regained his vision immediately.
What can we learn from this story that will guide us in deciding whether to help another? Here are some ideas: Be open to God’s call, even though we may be busy at the time. Share with God your fears about taking on the assignment. Listen to God and trust Him. Be prepared to serve someone who is (or has been) hostile, with God’s help. What else can you add, after studying the referenced scriptures?
