Scripture: News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Acts 11:22-24 NIV Application: Very few people truly have what it takes to be a great leader. But another essential job is always available, and anyone can fill it: Encourager. Encouraging others is arguably just a important as leading others, because no great leader can fulfill her or his mission without encouragement. Encouragers usually won't occupy headlines or win awards, but their actions are noted by God, and His church grows because of them. Encouragers may miss out on the glowing compliments ( and hostile criticisms!) but they'll never miss out on the best rewards of all. Prayer: Equip us to be the very best encouragers we can be, dear Father. Amen. Comments are closed.
