Acts 9:7a The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless;
Talk about your life-altering moments. I know Saul had one, as truly he altered his life after this experience and went from being one of the chief prosecutors of Christ to being one of his biggest supporters, but I wonder if this experience changed the men traveling with Saul at all.
Acts 9:7b …they heard the sound but did not see anyone.
They stood there. They heard the sound but did not see anyone. They stayed with Saul at least for a bit because they led him by the hand into Damascus. Did they stay with him through the entire experience? Were they changed by association? Were they as zealous as Saul in the beginning? Were their hearts softened as well?
Acts 9:8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
Precious Savior, I have so many questions about those connected to Saul during this experience and how their lives may have been changed as a result of his Damascus Road experience. Thank You for an avid curiosity for Your word. Help me to draw closer to You with every breath. Amen.
Acts 9:9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
Have a blessed day.
