Acts; 9-20 ” This man is the instrument I have chosen.”
The Lord often decides to work through people, After the Lord knocked Saul to the ground and confronted him, He did not continue His work in Saul’s life as a solo. He called for Ananias to be instrumental in converting Saul.[ Acts9;10 ]
Saul then became instrumental in converting both jews, and gentiles.
The Lord also wants us to be His instruments.
We are one of the Lord’s instruments in His plans to protect children in the womb from being aborted.
We are also God’s instrument in proclaiming the gospel to those with whom we live and work.
We are God’s instrument in feeding the poor, healing the sick, and driving out demons. He wants, and needs us in His plan of salvation [Hebrews 11; 40].
Many of us have, and are praying the “Prayer of St. Francis.” We have asked the Lord to make us “instruments of His peace. The Lord has answered our prayer. Accept His answer. Be His instrument.
Prayer: Risen Lord, “Here I am” [ Acts; 9 : 10 ] Use me for Your Kingdom.
