“BARNABAS A WORTHY EXAMPLE!”
Acts 13:2-3
“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.’ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.”
With this issue of the Daily-E-Votional I will end my focus on Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement. There is much more that can be derived by a further study in the book of Acts, but I will leave that up to your own study.
I will give you a hint to hopefully whet your appetite. Up until this time the great evangelist to become known as Paul was only known as Saul. From the time he was called Paul, he is generally mentioned first when both names are given.
It appears that the years of discipleship that Barnabas extended to Saul were well rewarded. Barnabas never appeared to feel dejected or rejected when Saul became known as Paul and assumed the leadership role.
Sometime later the two had a disagreement over a fledging follower we met earlier named John Mark. Barnabas insisted on working with this young man so he and Paul agreed to part ways. Years later during Paul’s dark days of persecution, he called for John Mark to be sent to bring him comfort. Barnabas had succeeded! BARNABAS, YOU ARE A WORTHY EXAMPLE!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
