Quality Questions

"And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" (Acts 9:3-6).

As Saul of Tarsus was inclined,
He journeyed to Damascus till
A light from heaven round him shined,
And God revealed then His will.

A voice from One to testify,
Knowing Saul so thoroughly,
Said "Saul, Saul," demanding, "Why
Are you persecuting Me?"

Saul was trembling, mystified,
Wondering then who this could be!
"Who are You, Lord?" Saul replied.
"I am Jesus," answered He.

Saul, astonished, asked Him, "Lord,
What will You have me to do?"
God will graciously reward
Such questions from a heart that's true.

Consider then, the quality
Of such questions like these two:
"Who are You Lord?" and honestly,
"Lord, what will you have me do?"

For these are questions that explore
The depths of Who God is;
And so shall we desire more,
Not our own will, but His.
