| While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” |

As a follower of Jesus, do you realize that God has appointed you to serve Him? That’s right! God has chosen us to not only belong to Him, but also to represent Him, His message of hope, and His call to repentance from sin, to a very needy world around us. In fact, His call is irresistible and persistent.
Dr. Luke records these words in Acts 13:2:
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Just as God called Barnabas and Saul—later known as “Paul”—to serve His Kingdom, so God calls you and me to represent Him, as we make our way along the pathway of life. It is a high privilege to receive God’s call. It is an even greater privilege to eagerly respond to that call.
As we begin a new day, let’s recognize God’s call. And, let’s quickly and enthusiastically respond to His call. Let’s go forth into our world and share the good news of God’s healing and redeeming power. Certainly, there are many who need to hear about this God who loves them with an everlasting, unfailing, undying love.
