Text: Acts 13: 1-12
The missionary work of Barnabas and Paul was ordained by God (vv. 2-3).
So, has God called you to the field you are in, or are you there on your own?
Sometimes personal talents and gifting can deceive us. Do not force things out, even in marriage, do not let your eyes or your own personal fears deceive and push you. In your profession, let the Spirit of God guide you, otherwise the name of God will not be glorified.
We see the redemption work of Jesus had been ordained by God from eternity (Gen. 3:15). And if the work you are doing is ordained by God, then be diligent and let the name of God be glorified (2 Thes. 1:12).
Meditate on verses 2-3. What is God teaching you in these verses?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, lead me to do the work You have designed for me. Amen.
