Go Where God is Working

Acts 14:24-28

“24 Then they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; 26 and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27 And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they remained no little time with the disciples.”

Paul and Barnabas had completed their first missionary journey.  They returned to Antioch, their home church, and reported all they had witnessed, and all that God had done through them while on this journey.  I imagine they also told them of some of their struggles, too.

For the church in Antioch, the news that the Gentiles were receptive to the faith and had joined the churches established by Paul and Barnabas, must have been a time of celebration and praise.

Like the early Church, let us find where God is working, let us go there, and let us do the work of God.

Then let us celebrate and praise Him.


May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
