Accept Your Lowly Stature To Be Great

From today’s reading…

For I am the least of the Apostles,

not fit to be called an Apostle,

because I persecuted the Church of God.” 1 Corinthians 15:9

You know those people who defend Trump no matter what?You know those people who defend Biden no matter what?Yeah?Well Paul 100x worse than them. Shocking, I know.

As Saul, he was a zealot, as in he put the zeal in zealot.

He just knew he was right and he had the might of his church officials behind him, so he went to town. And by “going to town” I mean he persecuted, arrested, and killed Christians for their beliefs. (Told ya he was 100x worse…or maybe 50x worse based on the trends I’m seeing from some of you on both sides of the aisle…but he was still worse.)

Despite being 100x worse than that fool you still haven’t blocked on YouFaceTwit, God not only welcomed Saul back, but invited him back. (Yes, it was a POWERFUL invitation that was hard to ignore, but it was still an invitation in a Hand-of-God sorta way.)

Paul accepted the invitation, repented, and went on to do a great amount of good. You can do the same. Paul has mapped out the route. All you have to do is follow it, i.e…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.

Now go sell something.
