SCRIPTURE: Acts (NIV) 14:26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
OBSERVATION: We need to be careful to report back to people who have a part in our ministry. This would include the authority which sent us out. This would include people who have helped carry the financial burden of the ministry. This would include those who have agreed to pray for our ministry. Reporting back should be a common thing for grateful people. It is giving honor where honor is due. (Romans 13:7)
APPLICATION: If we really love people, we should want them to know what their prayers and gifts have accomplished. It gives them opportunity to give praise to God. It makes them feel like they have a part in the victories.
PRAYER: Lord, may it be easy for me to give thanks and honor where it is due. Holy Spirit keep me aware of this debt. Amen
