“And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven†(Acts 9:3).
It is one thing to be blinded by the darkness of sin, but to be blinded by a light from heaven had to be a little scary. I thought of another verse found in 2 Corinthians 4:4a, “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not . . . .†Saul was going to have to be made to see how really blind he was. He was actually made physically blind because of the radiance of that light. He couldn’t ignore what was happening to him. After a few days Saul’s eyes would be spiritually opened. When God has to turn a spotlight on our lives we will see who we really are. No more would Saul walk in the darkness of sin. He truly saw the Light! When we come to terms with who we really are in the sight of God, we, too, will ask, “Lord, what wilt thou have me do?†(Acts 9:6a).
