Thought

Paul and Barnabas traveled around to many cities in the Mediterranean region. In every city, they went to the synagogues first and then they went to the Gentiles, teaching the good news about Jesus and what He did for us. Their words were wise, but they also interacted with people wisely. Today, it’s still important to pray for wisdom in our relationships with others so we can know when and how to tell people of God’s love.
