2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeCompassionAweContentment

When people worship God in a genuine way and fast to discern His will, God calls them to service and mission. Worship in Christianity is not an end in itself; rather, it is a way to prepare for mission. Don't get so caught up in worship that you forget about it when you walk out the door. Instead, realize that it is meant to encourage you to worship in public and help people in the world in your everyday life (Romans 12:1-2). Listen to the words of the songs, the message of the Bible, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit in your heart as you worship with your brothers and sisters. God may want you to do something important in your world.

Prayer

Father, when I worship You, please help me understand Your will and follow Your lead. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
