God is calling to each one of us, from the most wicked criminal to the most innocent child. We choose to ignore his voice but it is like kicking against a pointed stick.

Acts 26:14, “And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice in the Hebrew tongue saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you continue to persecute Me [to harass and trouble and molest Me]? It is dangerous and turns out badly for you to keep kicking against the goads [to keep offering vain and perilous resistance].”

The whole time Saul was persecuting the Christians God was calling him. Each time he hurt one of them was like kicking a pointed stick. To resist God is useless because He has all the time in the world. When we resist we are only hurting ourselves.

What verse impressed you?

About admin

I grew up on Elim Bible Institute, Lima NY and Pinecrest Bible Training Center (Now called Bethany Bible Training Center), Salisbury Center, NY, where my father, Charlie Cary, was the maintenance man. When we moved back to Iowa, (12), I joined the "Gospel Lighthouse Telecast" choir, a local weekly program sponsored by the Gospel Lighthouse in Batavia. I have read the Bible through, every year, since I was 13. I became the church janitor when I was 16 and played piano for services. I moved to Fairfield and started playing the piano, when I was 18, at the Fairfield Foursquare Church. I married David Fishel there when I was 20. At 21, I became secretary/treasurer and served for 24 years, stepping down due to a health issue that restricts me to my home. My husband now attends a new satellite church of Faith Christian Outreach Center, Mt. Pleasant, where our youngest son is the drummer. We have three grown children and one grandchild.
