The “Suddenlies" and “Steadilies" of following Jesus

Kathryn Hartley | Acts 9:1-19 — The book of Acts could be viewed as a book full of “suddenly” moments - there are miracles, dramatic moments, thousands and thousands being saved. But the early church was marked by both “suddenlies" and “steadilies".  We can all relate to circumstances in our lives where we long to experience a “suddenly” God moment, or even times when we have encountered a “suddenly” and would much prefer a “steadily”. The apostle Paul’s seeming sudden conversion teaches us much about trusting in and being strengthened by God’s choice of pace for our lives.
