Charles Spurgeon Commentary Acts 9:11

"And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;" — Acts 9:11 (ASV)

For, behold, he prayeth.

There was the secret sign and mark of a changed character, Behold, he prayeth. What a wonder! He prayeth – he that breathed out slaughter. He prayeth – he that came to destroy.

Behold, he prayeth.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus:

The Lord knows the whereabouts of his people. He knows your whereabouts tonight, young man. I trust that though you are an opponent of the gospel, he has brought you here on purpose, so that you may become one of his best advocates, through his renewing grace.
