“But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.” Acts 26:16(NKJV)

God was working in your life long before you began working with Him. God has had a plan for your life from the beginning. “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; Before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5(NKJV). Before the apostle Paul’s conversion experience on the road to Damascus, Jesus already knew Paul and had a specific assignment for him. But, God didn’t reveal that assignment to him until He gained his attention and was converted.

God invites us to join His will for our life, He invites us to become involved in His work. An encounter with God requires us to adjust ourselves to His plan. God never communicates with us merely to give us a warm devotional thought. He has far more significant things to reveal to us than that. He reveals what He is doing and invites us to join Him in the work He is doing. Don’t seek to hear from God unless you are ready to ask, as Paul did in Acts 9:6 “…Lord what do you want to do.”
