God used many ways to work in Paul’s life before he was a missionary. One way God worked in Paul’s life is that Paul was a Pharisee. That means that Paul knew the Scripture really well, so he could use that later in ministry. Another way God worked in his life was that Paul had a dual-citizenship. He had Roman citizenship, and he also had Jewish citizenship. So Paul couldn’t get persecuted as bad during ministry by the Romans because he was a Rome citizen.

There are also many ways that God worked, or is working in my life. One thing he is using in my life is my musical gift. I have used my gift of music many times to serve my church and my school. I think God will use that gift later in my life. Another way God was working in my life was when I hurt my finger last year. While I was going to physical therapy and doctors appointments, I gave my life to Jesus. Later, I am going to profess my faith and profess publicly that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Now that Jesus is my Saviour, I think God will use that experience throughout my life too.
