When the Lord saved Paul he was able to believe that which he formerly denied, to love a Lord and a people he had formerly hated.
As Paul considers what he was before Jesus found him and all that Jesus did for him, he bursts into praise to the glory of God.
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
What Jesus did in, to and for the Apostle Paul, He has also done in, to and for all those who are saved by His grace.
When we consider where He found us and what He did for us, how can we not praise Him?
“I thank God for the mountains, and I thank Him for the valleys, I thank Him for the storms He brought me through—For if I’d never had a problem, I wouldn’t know that God could solve them, I’d never know what faith in God could do.
Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God—Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.” —Andrae Crouch
