So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u202d\u202dActs\u202c \u202d13:3-4\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice that they prayed before and after the Holy Spirit&#8217;s calling. This reminds us of the importance of seeking God&#8217;s direction and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul and Barnabas could have said, &#8220;No fair! How come we don&#8217;t get to stay home like the other apostles? I wish I had their calling!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nope. They went. It was a hard journey, but they gave it their all, and God blessed their efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being set apart is not only for ordinations, but I think it can be applied to everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is your &#8220;calling?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God has something unique for you to do. You may&nbsp;&nbsp;already be doing it. You can thrive wherever He has planted you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t compare yourself to others.
