Saul, the man who had persecuted the heretical Christian sect, now found himself confronted by Jesus himself. His old convictions now lay shattered on the ground along the Damascus Road. His confidence had now evaporated, and he lay in a confused heap, blinded by this new revelation. Should he trust the instructions of Jesus, the one who had just blinded him, the one whose followers he had oppressed?
It was in this dark hour that Paul's faith suddenly caused him to trust Jesus, even though he didn't know where it might lead. He went on to Damascus and eventually learned of God's divine plan.
Likewise, in our dark moments when we have been stricken with blindness and are uncertain what to do next, it's at that moment that we should trust God. An anonymous poem says it well:
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trust Him when trust is small, Trust Him when simply to trust Him,
Is the hardest task of all.
It's then when we reach our Damascus, we'll find that our eyes will be opened, as well.
