We will read about them experiencing difficulties with the Jewish people who turn people away from believing the truth, both Jewish people and Gentiles. Paul reminds us today that we will suffer difficulties for bringing the Good News to people. At the end of their mission Paul and Barnabas return to Antioch, "where they were entrusted to God for the work that was now complete" and praised God, telling the believers there about God's success in leading both Jewish people and Gentiles to follow Jesus.In our discussion for daily application we will talk about entrusting God to care for us as God sends us out to do the work He has prepared for us to do as well as remembering not to take personally any perceived failure or success in that work, but to give God the glory. We may be seed planters, we may be feeding God's lambs or His sheep, but whatever it is we are doing that God gives us to do, we are NOT failures (and neither is God!) We cannot always see someone come to be a follower and we want to remember that it does not mean that we were unsuccessful. It means we were potentially used for planting seeds about The Word. It is wonderful to see someone come to saving faith in Jesus, but the lack of seeing this happen does not mean that we (or God!) have failed! Let us be encouraged to thank God for the good work that He has given us to do and ENTRUST both ourselves and the people He brings us to, to God, as Paul and Barnabas showed us today. I will also share some testimony as to how God used this daily application in my life just yesterday with a coworker, who being filled with God's Holy Spirit and joy, sought me out yesterday to tell me that He was reading the Bible and was loving it! Praise God! God is working in that man's heart and used me to help spread the word about reading God's Word! Thank you, God, for drawing that young man to you and allowing me to see the good work you have begun in him, as well as being able to give witness about that good work that I see!
