[:en]TIMES OF COMPLETION
After the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, “they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now complete” (Acts 14:26). While much work remained in sharing the message of Jesus with others, they took time to give thanks for what had been done. “They gathered the church together and reported all that god had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles” (v. 27)
As the year 2019 is coming to an end, we are aware of our unfinished tasks in serving the Lord. But let us not forget to give thanks for the ways He has worked through us by His grace. Let us pause and celebrate God’s faithfulness and the tasks completed. – by (David C. Mccasland)[:]
