"I AM HERE, LORD"

LELA MAY AULTMAN

Every day is harmonious when we welcome it as God's gift and know that all its experiences are governed by His love. Disturbance and pressure may impose upon our days when we try to plan them through human will. Yielding to Love's guidance, pausing often in our activities to listen for the divine voice which says (Isa. 30:21), "This is the way, walk ye in it," silences human will and opens the door wide for us to receive the blessings our Father purposes for each day.

A willingness to be used by God in the fulfillment of His holy purpose is true listening and keeps us alert to His commands and ready to obey them.

It was because Ananias had such an attitude that he was God's willing instrument in accomplishing Saul's awakening from spiritual blindness to the consciousness of the Christ-light. When God called Ananias for this mission, his ready response was (Acts 9:10), "Behold, I am here, Lord." His faithful listening to the voice of God silenced his fear and condemnation of Saul's evil reputation. He obeyed God's command and took His holy message of comfort and enlightenment to Saul, ready even to address him as "Brother Saul."
