Acts 13: 4 So, being sent out by the
Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed
to Cyprus. 5 And
when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the
synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.
============
“Unload the truck” was the
statement from our supervisor. It was a hot summer day on the temporary job. “You
want to play a game to pass the time?” a coworker asked me. “Sure” I replied. We
goofed off for a long while.
The supervisor came back and
saw practically nothing was done. “Get this done!” he exclaimed. Looking back,
I did not know the company was being charged fees for taking too long to unload.
- There was a time when I did not take my calling seriously.
- There was a time when I looked at my calling as a distraction.
- There was a time when I went in other directions from my calling.
Barnabas and Saul were sent
by the HOLY SPIRIT to do a great work for HIM. They sailed to the place they
were sent. The moment they arrived, they preached the word of GOD. They wasted
no time.
- GOD wants me to obey HIS calling immediately.
- GOD wants me to get rid of my complaints about HIS calling and respond with action.
- GOD wants me to see not doing HIS calling as something to fear.
The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom. When GOD calls me to do something, HE wants immediacy. HE
is patient though. HE knew I would walk away from HIS calling or half do it
from time to time. HE grows me up to see the importance of HIS calling so I
will take it seriously and not complain. I am grateful GOD rewards me when obey
HIM.
- Are you half-serving GOD?
- Do you place the world’s situations over GOD’s calling?
- Will you answer GOD’s calling on your life with immediacy and priority today?
