Saul of Tarsus was so radically converted that folks didn’t recognize him. He immediately preached Christ.

How much does God’s word bring change into your life? I’ve read Psalm 119 many times. I even tried to memorize it when I broke my foot in 2013. However, meditating through it recently has brought course correction several times.
