In Acts 9, Saul, who later became Paul, was on the road to Damascus with the intention of persecuting Christians, when he was confronted by God in the form of a light from heaven, and a voice from heaven which said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" It was in response to the light and the voice that Saul asked two questions. The first was "Who art thou, Lord?" and the second was "What wilt thou have me to do?" Jesus answered the first by saying, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:" and the second Jesus said, "Arise, and go into the city,(Damascus) and it shall be told thee what thou must do."
Just as Saul asked two questions so must we. After God gains our attention as he did Saul's the first question we must ask is , "Who are you?" and then God will reveal himself to us through his son the Lord Jesus Christ. After receiving Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we then ask, "What do you want me to do?", after hearing what it is the Lord want us to do, we must be about it just as Saul did. Have we asked these two questions and gotten answers? If not, we must go into our Damascus and wait upon the Lord, if we have gotten answers, then we should be about God's business for our lives. Wherever we are at the moment, we have things to do. Are we busy with God's business?
