Saul was a Jewish religious leader whose life was radically changed by Jesus. Saul grew up attending the synagogue. He was trained in the Old Testament. He was a Pharisee and a leader of the Jewish people. He even persecuted the Church of Jesus. You can be religious and not be a follower of Jesus. There are many religious people today. Have you ever fully committed your life to Jesus and become His disciple? Saul does, and his life is radically changed. His name is changed to Paul, and he goes on to become the “Apostle to the Gentiles.” God saves him spiritually and then uses his life to impact the world. Now is your time. Will you respond to Jesus today and live your life fully for Him? Let’s live as disciples of Jesus.

In today’s world, there is an obsession with knowledge but a growing resistance to true wisdom. While knowledge is the accumulation of information, wisdom is the right application of that knowledge, something our society increasingly overlooks. Ecclesiastes 4 echoes this truth by exposing the emptiness of ambition, isolation, and toil without purpose. It reminds us that life’s value is not in what we know or achieve, but in how we live in relationship with others and with God.

Time is precious. God has given us life. We were born for a reason and a purpose. We often complain that we don’t have enough time. It is really not about time, but about priorities. Therefore, we must prioritize the time God has given us and live each moment for Him. To know God is Sovereign over this world and over our lives. May we learn to understand how precious our time is so that we gain a heart of wisdom. Wisdom to live each moment for the glory of God.
