| Welcome to Day 24 of the series Speak Praise as part of the Write 31 Days challenge. |
A prevailing pattern among society is
that if we want something we have to do it ourselves. We strive to
accomplish more, use our words to work our plans, and we're quick to
take credit for our victories.
We feel guilty when we have to rest.
Yet even the Creator of the universe worked six days and set aside
one day to rest. God calls us to stillness because it is in
acknowledging Him that we find all that we need.
In Bible study this week we looked at
Acts 13. The apostles were waiting on the Lord for their next move in
spreading the gospel to the world. Tucked away in verse 2 is a notable discipline of their faith.
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
