Depending on the church you go to, it can be kind of rare to hear much about the Holy Spirit. We often talk about the Father and the Son and how we interact with them, but not much about the Holy Spirit.
But the Spirit himself is God as well, and we definitely interact with him too.
We see this in the first few verses of this chapter.
the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” (Acts 13:2)
Notice a few things here.
1. The Holy Spirit speaks.
Not the Father. Not the Son. The Holy Spirit speaks.
2. The Holy Spirit says, “Set apart for me.”
Not, “Set apart for the Father.”
Not, “Set apart for Jesus.”
But “Set apart for me.”
3. The Holy Spirit says, “for the work to which I have called them.”
Not for the work the Father or the Son called them.
But for the work the Holy Spirit called them.
What do we learn from this?
1. The Spirit has personality. He is not just some kind of impersonal force.
2. As God, he calls us for his purposes.
So don’t ignore the Holy Spirit in your prayers. Ask him to fill you and empower you as he did Paul and the other disciples. (9, 52)
And say to him, “Here am I. Send me.”
