Reading – Acts 9:1-19

Highlight Verse:

“Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized.”
‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭9‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is the time of year when people tend to make drastic changes in their lives.

You might already be choosing your resolutions to start in a couple of days.

Or perhaps you are one who thinks that resolutions are foolish.

I’ve never put a huge amount of stock in New Year’s resolutions. I think that any day is a good day to start new habits.

Still, there’s something about the beginning of the year that makes starting new good habits or breaking old bad ones easier.

Today’s reading recounts the time when Saul made a radical change from persecutor to evangelist.

For him it took being struck blind to get his attention.

Hopefully you and I will pay closer attention to what God wants to change in us.

In case you’re wondering, for me it is getting to bed earlier. That may mean writing this post earlier in the day. Mostly it will mean not staying up and watching You-Tube far too late after this is done. I plan on concentrating on this for at least 21 days. If the earlier bedtime becomes a habit, perhaps I’ll move on to other things, but I will stick to one at a time for now.

Have you prepared to make New Year’s resolutions yet this year?
Are there any you can share?
