God can use even the most obscure saint. When we look at Acts 9 the story of Ananias. God called out of obscurity to put a human face and touch to God’s acceptance of Saul the rebel.

God used Ananias in the transformation of Saul into a powerful voice for the gospel.

Were it not for the conversion of Saul, we would never have heard of Ananias, and yet Ananias had an important part to play in the ongoing work of the church.

Behind many well-known servants of God are lesser-known believers who have influenced them. God keeps the books and will see it that each servant will get a just reward. The important thing is not fame but faithfulness.

We should remember from Ananias’s experience that we should never be afraid to obey God’s will. At first Ananias argued with the Lord and gave good reason why he should not visit Saul. But God had everything under control, and Ananias obeyed by faith.

We must remember that God’s perfect will is always the best.

God Bless.
