"Galatians 1:24 And they glorified God in me."

Perhaps you're familiar with the Christian authors Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel, former atheists whose research led them to the One they sought to discredit. Their transformed lives now lead other truth seekers to God. Nothing gets your attention like someone who holds a strong position and then refutes it.

God has a way of getting people's attention. Take the apostle Paul: summa cum laude among Jewish scholars, impeccable credentials, practiced every Jewish tradition with unswerving zeal (Philippians 3:5-6; Galatians 1:14). Paul was convinced that killing Christians was a noble service to God, and he took his gruesome assignment seriously (Acts 8:3). So how does a former terrorist of the church change his mind? Did he just wake up one morning and say, "I wonder what it would be like to be an apostle of grace?"

That's the miracle of being intercepted by grace. No one can look at the life of Paul--or any believer transformed by the Gospel--and not see God's glory. Paul testified that when people heard his radical testimony, they didn't glorify him. All they could do was glorify God (Galatians 1:24).

Think of a way for people to see God in you this week and amaze them with His glory!
God Bless and remember to read each word for it has the true meaning.

Amen.
