Some years ago a young man approached the foreman of a logging crew and asked for a job.
"That depends," replied the foreman.
"Let's see you fell this tree."
The young man stepped forward and skillfully felled a great tree.
Impressed, the foreman exclaimed, "Start Monday!" Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday rolled by, and Thursday afternoon the foreman approached the young man and said, "You can pick up your paycheck on the way out today."
Startled, he replied, "I thought you paid on Friday."
"Normally we do," answered the foreman, "but we're letting you go today because you've fallen behind.
Our daily felling charts show that you've dropped from first place on Monday to last on Wednesday."
"But I'm a hard worker," the young man objected.
"I arrive first, leave last, and even have worked through my coffee breaks!"
The foreman, sensing the boy's integrity, thought for a minute and then asked, "Have you been sharpening your ax?"
The young man replied, "I've been working too hard to take the time."

1- Saul’s Plan
A-Saul planed to do the same thing on this day that he did the day before.
A
B-Saul was taking his issue all the way to the top.
Later Paul even said as he was addressing a mob in Jerusalem that the high priest could attest to his previous passion against the Jews.
2- God’s Petition
A-God wanted to get Saul’s attention.
When you are passionate about something and you are on a mission, nothing else matters.
You are focused on the goal and the things around you are blurry.
Passion is a beautiful thing but passion is also a dangerous thing.
Sometimes our passion blurs the facts that surround us.
Acts
Most people conclude here that since Saul was blind at the end of this experience that it must have been a flash of light and they attribute his blindness to that.
This is our natural minds trying to explain the supernatural experience.
DO NOT DUMB DOWN THE POWER OF GOD.
When you look at the facts of this situation you see that the light shown around Saul and the others that were with him say this as well.
However scripture doesn't indicate that any one else in this traveling party was blinded.
Furthermore in verse 18 we see that something that resembled scales fell from his eyes.
Friends when we look at the facts of this situation we see that everything in this story points to the Supernatural.
We see that the voice here who was none other that Jesus the Christ Himself, asked Saul why he was persecuting Him.
But Saul scripture dose not tell us that Saul was there on the day of Crucifixion so why would Jesus say that Saul was persecuting Him.
The only conclusion would be that John was correct in and Christians are truly the children of God.
Acts 3:3-4
B-Swimming upstream is the wrong direction.
Acts 9:
3- God’s Plan.
A- God had to break Saul to tell him His plan.
Acts 6:
B-
B- Sometimes God has to bring us to a place of brokenness to reveal to us His plan.
Jonah 1:1-
The Lord broke Jonah to the point that he was cast into the sea in the middle of a storm.
and a fish swallowed him up and he laid in the belly of a smelly fish for 3 days.
If you think you have done things that are to bad for forgiveness then look at this.
What greater sin can you commit than a sin against God.
Still he offers his forgiveness and grace.
