Set Apart

Acts 13:1-4
"In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues."


This scripture has come to my attention a few times in the last week and it excites me. I have been set apart by the Lord for a specific work and am going to go complete it!


I desire to be like this church and these men. To be expectant and in position to hear from the Lord and then to hear and follow the voice of the Holy Spirit alone - not the voice of my own desires, or others words and expectations, or who I've always been, or any other voice, but in all things God's alone.
"Every hour of every moment, Lord I want to be your servant, I desire to be a blessing in your eyes."
