—Acts 11:25-30

God used Barnabas to teach, train, and encourage Saul. Saul went on to have an amazing ministry of his own. Barnabas was a mentor and teacher. Later, he went "behind the scenes" as Saul took the "spotlight." Yet, where would Saul have been without the training and encouragement of Barnabas? Sometimes God uses us to perform "behind the scenes" tasks. As God calls us to these tasks, we should feel humbled that the God of the universe chose to use us to carry out his plan. Enjoy being "behind the scenes" if that is where God has you!
