Genesis 10:1-11:26; Job 13:1-14:22; Matthew 6:19-7:6
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth. Acts 9:11
It had been three days since Saul of Tarsus had encountered the Christ of God. What mighty changes had been enacted in his life! Now he is found on Straight Street. There is no longer the peril of being on the broad road that leads to destruction (Matt. 7:13). No longer was there perversity in his walk and he manifested his new spiritual life by praying. He who had been running in all his ways counter to Christ, now walked in His will and desired communion with Him—as should we. —Lloyd Cain
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer! —Joseph M. Scriven
