Acts 9:8

"And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus"He saw nothing" He found himself blinded (Acts 22:11). "Led him by the hand" "He who had expected to enter Damascus in the fullness of his pride and prowess, as. self-confident opponent of Christ, was actually led into it, humbled and blinded" (Stott p. 170). Let us always be thankful for situations that humble us and those which expose our finiteness, limited resources, and power. It is good to be humbled, because the humble heart is. heart ready to listen and receive instruction (James 1:21). In addition, we must remember that Saul could have rebelled against this message (Acts 26:19 "I did not prove disobedient to the vision"). He could have acted like Pharaoh or the many other Pharisees who had remained in unbelief, despite seeing the miracles of Jesus and the Apostles.
