Saul’s blindness left as if a scale fell from each eye when Ananias put his hands on him. His heretical heretic hunting days were over. He now became one of the hunted.
He waited for three days after the light overpowered him and blindness set in on the Road to Damascus. While waiting he refused to eat or drink.
Saul heard the voice, felt the power to the point of blindness and from that day forward abandoned his former ways to obey no matter what the cost to himself.

Denise offers the prompt word “scale” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.
Acts 9:17-18 KJV
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Today I just finished a two-book, Warren Wiersbe bible study on the book of Acts. “Be Disciplined”and “Be Daring”. Your story is a perfect summary of Paul’ adventures.

Had not thought about it but he was a heretic hunter. So glad Jesus saved him and opened his eyes. The scales indeed fell off.
Blessings.

I enjoyed your use of the prompt word, Frank. Moments of enlightenment are very much like that – removal of the “impediment” clouding our sight.

Good point. Enlightenment means removing an impediment we didn’t know was there before. Thank you, Denise!
