You Saw? Well, See Again!

A friend of mine in The Lord Jesus recently reminded me of this refreshing New Testament passage:

Acts 9:17-19 (The Message) 
So Ananias went and found the house, placed his hands on blind Saul, and said, “Brother Saul, the Master sent me, the same Jesus you saw on your way here. He sent me so you could see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” No sooner were the words out of his mouth than something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes—he could see again! He got to his feet, was baptized, and sat down with them to a hearty meal. 

Lord, open our eyes. Yes, we want to see You, Jesus!

Behold! He Is Praying!

Acts 9:11 (NLT) -- The Lord said (to Ananias), "Go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When you arrive, ask for Saul of Tarsus. He is praying to me right now!"

Acts 9:11 (NKJV) -- "...Behold! He is praying!"

It seems to me that perhaps the first greatest wonder (what's most atonishing) in all of the universe to Holy God might really be a person praying. Could it be that the second greatest wonder (what's also most atonishing) to Holy God is to think that we as humans realize this and yet neglect praying?

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
