Today's Bible verse is the 26th chapter of the Book of Acts. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+26&version=NASB
Still being held in custody, in today scripture passage we find the Apostle Paul continuing to witness for Christ. While testifying of his faith in the Lord Jesus before King Agrippa, we see Paul's desire for not only King Agrippa to believe the gospel message, but for all who would hear him that day. Paul had simply shared his very personal testimony of the powerful work God had performed in his life as He had reveal the truth of Jesus to him. Part of Paul's testimony was his response to God's work. He told King Agrippa that he had not been "disobedient to the heavenly vision, but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance." Although each salvation experience is personal, it seems as if each believer has experienced his or her own "heavenly vision" as God graciously gives us eyes to see the truth of who Jesus is. By His grace and His indwelling presence in our lives, may God grant to each of us a life after salvation that is obedient to "the heavenly vision".
