June 16
Introduction
This chapter begins with the first of Saul’s (later known as Paul) three missionary journeys to spread the Good News to the Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world. Saul and Barnabas are chosen and sent to Seleucia (on the Mediterranean coast of Syria) and Cyprus. They encounter opposition from the governor’s magician, and the magician is struck blind.
Today’s Scripture: Acts 13:2b (GNT)
The Holy Spirit said to them, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
Today’s Reading
Acts 13:1-12
Reflect
How did Saul and Barnabas and their supporters prepare for this missionary journey (verse 3)? What preparations take place within your community of faith for those who are called to serve the Lord? Why were Saul and Barnabas opposed by the governor’s magician? Are there those today who seek to dissuade people from following the Lord?
Pray
Lord God, you continue to set apart those who are called to spread your Word. Help me to be an ambassador for sharing the good news of your love and salvation with those who do not know you, and strengthen me for this task. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
