Galatians 1:16-18 To reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the heathen: immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: neither went I to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and abode with him fifteen days.

Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread

During my daily walks I will sometime use these moments as a time to let the Lord speak to me.   To start this conversation, I will usually focus on a verse or a song to mediate on during his time. It is during these walks I would usually focus on the psalm I was studying for the next day devotional.  However, during the last few weeks I was looking at Paul’s life as a new focus for my studies.  It was during this time I came across Galatians 1:16-18.  In these verses I realized that God did not reveal Jesus to him during this time, but God reveal Jesus in him.  The importance of this truth revealed to me that it is not just knowing about Jesus, but it is letting Jesus into our life to become a part of us. 

It was during these three years that Paul learned from the scriptures, the Old Testament, that it was Jesus who was the promised seed of the Eve, the seed of David, the promised Messiah.  It was his day-by-day mediation on God’s word that reveal this truth to him.  So now as I study daily the scriptures may my new goal be for God to reveal his son in me so that my daily life will reflect Christ in me.
