Acts 9:4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’

Saul was doing what he thought was right – he was following the what the chief priests and others were saying – he was quite sure he was right in doing so!

God knew Saul’s heart and stepped in to stop him from blindly following the rules because God wanted him to listen.

Saul was too adamant in doing what he was doing to stop and listen for God; so God stepped in and made him stop!

John 6:5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming towards him, he said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’

When Jesus was getting ready to feed the crowds, He already had a plan but wanted to disciples to think about what was happening!

Jesus asked the disciples a very earthly question because He could probably sense how they were reacting to the continued building of the crowd.

Jesus wants us to stop looking at the physical earthly ways of achieving stuff and focus on asking Him, the one behind all power, to help those in need around us.

God does not expect us to work miracles by ourselves!

Psalm 34:19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;

Have you ever been mountain climbing or abseiling where you have to place your life in the hands of another person holding the rope?

God has a tight hold of that rope and we need to lean back and allow Him to take the weight, trusting in Him totally!

When we face hard times, God is there willing to help us every step of the way… we need to allow Him to help us!
