Acts 22:10 - Additional Comments
Paul asks what he was to do. His purpose certainly changed at this moment. He was going to persecute, and now to perform actions that would cause himself to be persecuted. This was a life changing experience, and 180 degree turn. This shows the power of Christ, not only to change lives, but to set them on a course of what He wants them to do. Has He done that for you? Has He set you on a course He has for you? Has God given you this information, and you've not paid attention? Don't think that God doesn't have a specific plan for your life. Ask Him, with an open heart and desire to obey. That is tough to do!
(Aren't you thankful that many before you did ask and follow?)
Paul listened and obeyed, and look what God did - Paul was instrumental in carrying the gospel to the West; he established churches throughout Asia Minor & Greece; and he wrote almost 25% of the New Testament.
We may not have such a dramatic change or broadly influencing purpose, but it is nevertheless no less in value to God. Your testimony doesn't have to have a dramatic life changing experience. It needs to tell of the difference He has made in your life compared to what it would have been without Him. You can compare to your peers to show what your life would have been without God.
