All God Had Done
Scripture:
23 In each church, they would appoint leaders, pray and fast together, and entrust them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe. 24 They then passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. 25 They preached their message in Perga and then went to the port of Attalia. 26 There they set sail for Antioch, where they were first entrusted to the grace of God for the mission they had now completed. 27 They called the church together when they arrived and reported all God had done with and through them, how God had welcomed outsiders through the doorway of faith. 28 They stayed with the disciples in Antioch for quite a while. (Acts 14:23-28 The Voice)
What an amazing journey of faith Paul and Barnabas had been on! They had been sent out on a mission by God from the church in Antioch, and now they were back. They met with the church to report on all that God had done. This is a reminder to me/to us about the importance of remembering all that God has done for us and through our service to him. It is such an important way to build faith and encouragement in our hearts.
Father, once again all I can say is ‘thank You’! As I think about and remember all the many ways and times You have blessed us, my heart rejoices. You are so good and I love You! AMEN
I will remind myself to remember and praise the Lord with my whole heart as I remember all the good things He does for me! Psalm 103
