Is it hard for you to kick against the pricks?

Acts 9:5b KJV

On the road to Damascus Saul has a personal encounter with God that changed his life forever. When the Lord spoke about kicking against the pricks he was referencing the ‘goads’, an implement that farmers and cowboys used to guide the oxen or cattle when they would stray off the path.

Many times we like to ‘go our own way’ and God tries to get us back on the right path, but we’re stubborn. The vast majority of us will never get that same experience as Saul did with the voice from the clouds and the blinding light. However we will be kicking against the goads for our lifetime.

Now you know God is sovereign and He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent… He’s anywhere and everywhere at the same time. Put God first it’ll get better not worse.
