“And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do” (Acts 22:10).
Before he was saved, Saul of Tarsus was a wicked man who persecuted Christians. But when he was struck down by a bright light on the road to Damascus, he immediately recognized that the Lord was speaking to him. He wanted to know what he should do, and the Lord told him to go into the city. There he would learn what he was to do.
Today we do not get saved quite as dramatically as Saul did, for the Lord spoke to him in a special way. But sometimes, after we are saved, we do not know what to do in our lives. There are big decisions to be made — what kind of a career we should have, where we should go to school, whom we should marry, where we should live, and many other important choices.
However, if we look to the Lord in a simple way, as Saul did, we will get clear direction as to what to do. We may not get all the answers right away, but the Lord will show us the next step, as He did for Saul, who afterwards became the Apostle Paul. The Lord will make His mind clear to those who have willing hearts.
