Lord, What Would You Have Me Do?

Acts 9:6, “And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.”

Saul was on his way to Damascus with documents to imprison followers of Jesus Christ. This text recounts Saul’s response to his Divine Encounter with Jesus on the road that day. Saul had his own objective but God had a different path planned for him. It took Divine Revelation to change him and the direction he was going. Confronted with the Divine Presence of Christ, his response was, “Lord, what would you have me do?” We would do well to seek God for the same attitude of submission that we could proclaim, “Lord Jesus, what would you have me do?

God help us to yearn for His Divine Presence and the Revelation of His Truth! Lord Jesus, open our hearts, our minds, our souls to hear your voice today! We need your revelation of your plan. We are not seeking a fleshly understanding of mortal research. We are seeking Divine revelation of the Word of God. The same revelation the Old Testament prophets experienced as they walked in obedience and depended upon the impartation of your instruction and anointing to bring a relevant Word of God to the people of God. The same revelation that the New Testament apostles experienced as you called them out and set them apart to be your voice for your message to a world in crisis, lost, without hope except for Jesus' sacrifice. Holy Spirit take charge of this mortal flesh! Lead us along the correct path to receiving God's revelation and understanding of the Word relevant to where we are today. We are not seeking insight built upon human understanding because that is empty and fruitless. The revelation of your truth passes all human understanding far above this world's knowledge. The hope of our heart and our soul's desire is to receive and impart your truth. Your truth delivers the sin sick soul, frees the shackled and heals the wounded heart. Lord, revive your Word afresh in our souls and lead us to those in need. Lead us Lord and we will follow where ever you open up the door. Lord, what would YOU have me do?
