Confronted by the Light

The story of Saul on the Damascus Road begins with confrontation. Saul, full of zeal and hatred, set out to destroy Christians, convinced he was serving God. But before he reached his destination, he was stopped by a light brighter than the sun—the very presence of Christ.
 
Like Saul, we at time can think we are walking in truth when we are actually blinded by our own pride, traditions, or self-righteousness. The Light of Christ exposes what is hidden, not to condemn us, but to bring us into truth. Many resist this confrontation because it challenges their comfort or control. Yet without it, we remain in spiritual blindness.
 
As Christians, we need to welcome the Light of Christ daily, allowing Him to reveal and correct what we cannot see. The Damascus Road reminds us that before God can use us, He must first confront us.
 
 
Scripture:
John 8:12 - Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
 
Application:
Spend time in prayer asking Jesus to shine His light into your life. Identify one area where you might be resisting His truth and surrender it to Him.
 
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are the true Light who reveals what is hidden. Confront me where I have been blind, and lead me into Your truth. Help me walk in Your light today and reflect it to others.
