Galatians 1:21-24
It was the early part of Paul’s ministry, before he started planting churches, writing letters. It was a time when what he was doing was almost unbelievable to those early Christians. How could someone change so drastically? But it seemed that Paul began preaching with as much zeal for the gospel, as he used to work against it before (though maybe more “for”!) Two things were for sure: one, people noticed the obvious change and two, they ended up glorifying God because of the change only he (God) could have brought about.
Who in your life is the example of that unbelievable change that God brings about? How much are you the cause of other people’s praise to God?
Prayer
I am so grateful O Jesus that you can and do change people so completely. That gives me hope for people that I know and love – even in my family – that need your transformation. Maybe even me. I will trust that you will do so, and I will keep praying for it, and even be your instrument if you need me for it to happen. And may it be O Christ that maybe I too will be some people’s reason to praise and glorify you. Amen.
