“And so, King Agrippa, I obeyed that vision from heaven. I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do.
Acts 26:19-20
Paul's vision on the road to Damascus became the captivating force behind his success. The apostle teaches us the power of a vision. God's vision for Paul accomplished a number of things:
It stopped him. Vision allows us to see ourselves. We see things not as they are, but as we are.
It sent him. Vision allows us to see others. We feel compelled to act.
It strengthened him. Vision enables us to continue despite struggles and lack of resources.
It stretched him. Vision gives us conviction to stand, confidence to speak, and compassion to share.
It satisfied him. Obedience to this vision motivates us to act. It fulfills us.
In what ways is the power of your vision helping you to accomplish things?

Thank you for fulfilling the vision God has placed in my heart!
