*DAILY DEW 16/JULY/2023* *Available AND USEABLE* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost"* (Acts 9:17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the final analysis, the distinguishing feature of God's men will not be whether they are available or useable or even sendable. The real test is whether they will obey, or do, or comply with received instructions. It is the consistency of our application of received instructions that will keep us as God's choice option when other divine needs or instruction arise. God does not force people. He naturally goes after those who go after him. Once you prove to be consistent and reliable, God makes more use of you, especially for more bigger assignments that require trusted and faithful hands. The men who made a mark for God and the men who will make a mark for God, are the men who will take up instructions obediently, even when or especially when it is not their will! 3. He obeyed the instructions setting aside his personal wish or feeling. It is not funny when the Lord will tell you to go and "sacrifice" your son or leave your job and go to the missions field or marry someone that doesn't quite strike you as your fairy tale queen charming or king charming! It is not funny when you have to obey God's word to forgive your parents who left you or cared less when growing up or to forgive your spouse who annoyed you with no just cause or to forgive your church member who is always getting on your nerves or saying things that are not nice about you. It is not funny, when you must go all out to strive to be at peace with people who don't give a hoot. It is not funny when you have to apologize to people who should be the one apologizing to you all because the Spirit is impressing it upon you to take the initiative. But that was just how Ananias at first was a bit at a loss as to why God would even want him to go pray for a Saul whose blindness should be an answered prayer. A man that had a deep relationship with God, like Abraham, he dared to make a subtle objection or clarification at first. God answered him. And he obeyed. When he got there he could call this persecutor of a man, "Brother Saul". This shows how much of obedience and faith Ananias has in what God has told him about Saul. He knew God too well to bother about doubting the brotherhood or conversion of Saul. _MEDITATION:_ *“MAY WE OBEY GOD EVEN WHEN WE DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.
