What Does Acts 22:10 Mean?
Paul's second question is surrender: What shall I do, Lord? He receives not the whole plan but the next step, go into the city, where a messenger waits. His work has already been appointed; he has only to walk into it.
Obedience usually begins with one plain instruction, with further light promised along the way. Paul, blinded and humbled, will learn the Lord's purpose through Ananias, an ordinary believer, for God delights to shape his servants through his people. Whoever sincerely prays 'What shall I do, Lord?' has already begun to follow; the answer comes one faithful step at a time.
