9:10-12
In Damascus the Lord called to a disciple named Ananias. It is quite normal for God to speak to people. Now it is not that common to receive audible words, the Bible is our primary source of hearing from God, but sometimes God does speak directly to a person. It seems that God called Ananias in a loud voice. Ananias answered. God then told him where to go in order to meet Saul o Tarsus. Note that God has also prepared Saul for this meeting, giving Saul a vision of Ananias laying hands on him so his sight would be restored. Notice the kindness towards Saul from God, in telling him that his blindness was temporary.
9:13,14
It is interesting that there is a conversation between Ananias and the Lord. Indeed, this is a feature of many interactions between God and His servants. We need to appreciate what God was telling Ananias to do. Everyone had heard of Saul and knew what he was about. God’s command to Ananias was like telling someone to go to the Gestapo commander. Moreover, Ananias knew why Saul had set out for Damascus.
