As we read today of Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus, we are reminded that it is God's choice, not ours, that makes the difference. "This man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings and children of Israel...." (Act 9: 16). Saul, a persecutor of believers in Jesus, would have been the most unlikely candidate in their eyes to be the "chosen instrument", but not in the eyes of the all-seeing and all-knowing God. It is in this God that we are to trust...and, if we find ourselves "chosen" for a mission totally "outside our box", to respond with the submission, obedience and zeal of Saul. It defies human logic, but that's what makes it so REAL!
