Shepherd to Sheep

Acts 9:3

"And it came about that as he journeyed, he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him"

Many of us are familiar with the Damascus road experience that Saul was involved in, and yet we often overlook those who came along side of him. There were the un-named who took him by the hand into Damascus, there was a man named Judas whom Saul stayed with in the city, also the reluctant disciple named Ananias who the Lord would send to pray for Sauls healing. All these, along with Barnabas who would come alongside to mentor and encourage the fledgling Christian. As we've watched the Olympic team sports like rugby, we see six coming to assist the one who makes the big play and score. As Paul would go on to do much for the Lord, we may not remember the un-named, the reluctant, those who provided for him, the unsung heroes, yet the blessings are for all as the Lord accomplishes His work and is glorified.
