Paul's testimony before the kingPaul testifies about his former life, describing how he acted with hostility against the name of Jesus, imprisoning believers and trying to force them to blaspheme.
The encounter on the way to DamascusPaul recounts seeing a bright light from heaven, falling to the ground, and hearing the voice of Jesus asking why he is persecuting Him.
Being arrested by ChristJust as God arrested Paul and put an end to his personal ambitions, God wants to arrest every young person so they are yoked with Jesus rather than bound to worldly things.
Pressing on to lay hold of ChristPaul explains in Philippians that he presses on to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of him.Philippians 3:12
The example of Ruth and NaomiWhen Naomi returns to Bethlehem, Orpha goes back, but Ruth clings single-mindedly to Naomi and the God of Israel, forsaking worldly security and marriage prospects.

Called like Amy Carmichael and William CareyGreat servants like Amy Carmichael, William Carey, and Zach Poonan were arrested by God for His specific ministry and remained faithful to their callings.

The meaning of Jacob's lifeJacob spent his life as a 'grabber,' seizing his brother's ankle, Rachel, and his father-in-law's estate, illustrating how worldly salvation involves stopping our own grabbing to take hold of God.
Seeking God above earthly needsWhen God asks what our immediate need is, our response should be a desperate plea for Him; earthly needs like jobs and marriage are already contained within the package called Jesus.
