It is so important that we are obedient. God is in complete control and even if it sometimes seems that what He is asking us to do doesn't make sense, or even worse seems dangerous, we need to remember we can't see the outcome He sees. Yeah, Saul was a jerk, and Ananias knew it. All the Christians knew it. But God had already laid the smack down on Saul before he got to town. He literally put him on the ground, got in his face, and asked him why he was fighting the truth so hard. So Saul was harmless by now. And, because Ananias was obedient, he got to fill one of God's most powerful servants with the Holy Spirit! What an honor!
Lord, help me to remember that You are in control, and that through obedience I will see the blessings You have in store for me and my family. Amen
