What do you want me to do?

So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” – Acts 9.6

The change on Saul was immediate and clear. In an instant he went from seeking to destroy Christ and His cause to saying ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’

That very first question from the newly saved Saul sets the pattern for Jesus’ disciples throughout the next two thousand years. ‘What do you want me to do?’ should be our attitude every day and in every decision we make. We are too often led by what we want to do today instead of what what He wants us to do.

I ought to ask myself this morning what the Lord wants me to do today. All through the day in every situation I face I need to ask the same question. ‘What do you want me to do about this situation or this person or this problem Lord?’
