When God Turns It Around: Hope for Hard Times

DAY 6 OF 7

PAUL FROM PERSECUTOR TO PREACHER

Paul wasn’t just indifferent to Jesus—he was an enemy. He hunted down Christians and threw them in prison. He thought he was doing God a favor. But Jesus met Paul on the road to Damascus. With one encounter, Paul’s life changed forever.

Paul went from persecuting the church to planting churches. He went from breathing threats to preaching grace. It wasn’t because Paul got better. It was because Jesus showed him mercy.

This is what grace does. It takes enemies and makes them family. It takes rebels and makes them servants of God.

Maybe you feel like your past is too dark for God to use you. It’s not. If God can turn Paul’s life around, He can turn yours around too. In Christ, no one is too far gone.

PRAYER

God, thank You that Your grace is bigger than my past. Help me to trust that You can still use my life for Your glory.

REFLECTION

Who in your life needs to hear that God’s grace is bigger than their past?

About this Plan

When God Turns It Around: Hope for Hard Times

Life can be full of hard times. Pain. Waiting. Loss. Failure. But the gospel shows us that God is never done with us. Through Jesus, broken things can be healed; lost causes can be redeemed; and even death can be defeated. In this plan, Pastor Mawuli Tsikata looks at real stories in the Bible where God stepped in. Each day will point to Jesus—the true and better turnaround we all need.
