I am impressed with how the Holy Spirit in us places people in our life and directs our path to have the greatest impact on others. In our scripture, Barnabas separates himself (for a mission) from Paul and takes Mark with him and encourages him. Paul with Silas sets off to encourage others but is called to extend the Gospel to Macedonia and Greece.
ReplyDeleteSinging hymns in jail has the greatest impact when we listen to the Holy Spirit.
