n Acts 9, we looked at what happened after Saul's conversion. As soon as he was strengthened, he began preaching that Jesus is the Son of God, and his transformed life left people amazed. But this season wasn't just about boldness, it was also about preparation. God used hidden time to shape Saul before what was ahead.

As Saul followed Jesus, he faced opposition and rejection, even having to escape for his life. But through it all, God used people like Barnabas to come alongside him and help him take his next steps.

This reminds us that preparation is not a delay. God uses every season to shape us for what He's calling us to.
