Observation
To what were Saul and Barnabas to be set apart (2)? What was the result?
Application
The Bible says that all believers are to be set apart for God’s use–do I live my life with this in mind? Am I dedicated to whatever work God wants to do through me?
Prayer
Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father God, Thank You for the Holy Spirit who sanctifies and empowers me for His work. Help me to be sensitive to His leading, and to respond immediately in obedience for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Pray to BLESS!
One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:
- B – BODY (physical health)
- L – Labor (their job or school)
- E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
- S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
- S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)
Spend some time praying for the following people and ministries:
- Mike & Jamie Haberkorn (Hannah, Sean)
- Deborah Halkola
- David & MaryBeth Hollander (Cole, Marcus)
- Bob & Peggy Hoover
Ministry:
- Chrysalis Women’s Transitional Housing
CLF:
- Pray that we would be a church that is dedicated to the breaking of bread, both in the sense of being devoted to observing the Lord’s Supper, and in meeting together for meals to fellowship, to deepen bonds, to heal offenses, and to end disputes.
Community: Pray for Public Service Professionals (Firefighters, law enforcement, and medical personnel)…
