Acts 9:10-22

Have you ever wondered how God could use you to reach out to someone else?  In the early days of our Christian walk, many of us wonder this because we know what goes on inside our heads and inside our hearts.  We know our sins and our weaknesses and we acknowledge that we are still questioning our own faith.

Well, guess what?  I discovered God knows these things even better than we and that is precisely why He wants to use us.  God uses ordinary, everyday sinners to touch other everyday ordinary sinners.  He wants to make us extraordinary.

The Scripture for today is an illustration of God using Ananias to witness to Paul.  Ananias knew of Paul by reputation and he was none to excited about going to Paul. "But the Master said, "Don't argue. Go! I have picked him as my personal representative to non-Jews and kings and Jews. And now I'm about to show him what he's in for—the hard suffering that goes with this job." (Acts 9:15-16)

God had big plans for Paul and Ananias was part of that plan.  God has big plans for you and for me too.  Do you know of a time when you felt God using you to reach someone who did not know Him yet?  Was it awesome?  Please tell about it.
