Delayed But Not Derailed
Saul of Tarsus had a destiny. a destiny for which he had been uniquely qualified. A destiny that was characterized by zeal, energy, passion, desire and excellency. A destiny that involved a sharp mind, boldness. Something deep within him longed to serve God wholeheartedly.
His studies at the feet of Gamliliel seem to have catapulted him into a deep recess of the grip of religion. He sought with all his might to please God by excelling in the religion of his fathers, he fought valiantly and unapologetically against the Christians because their message was a threat to the survival of the Jewish religion. Until the day had his date with destiny and he came face to face with the one that he had been trying so hard to please and was unknowingly hurting. His encounter with the living Jesus brought him to the threshold of his destiny. He embraced it gladly, and he became doubly zealous, double brave, double excellent as he finally was doing that for which he had been born.
You too have a date with destiny. Your destiny may be delayed but its not derailed, though the angry surges of the plans of the enemy seek so hard to derail you, surrender to the author of your destiny brings you right back on track. He who formed you and chose you even before you were born wants you to come into the reality and the fullness of your destiny. That destiny is that Christ may be revealed in you.
Have you embraced your destiny or are you stil trying to run far away from it?
