Daily Bible Reading – May 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word of Faith

DAY 21 OF 31

  

May 21

Introduction

Today marks the day when many Christians observe Jesus’s ascension into heaven. Jesus tells his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until God gives them the Holy Spirit, empowering them to share the gospel everywhere. Then he is taken up to heaven. The apostles keep their eyes on the skies until two angels jolt them into action. The apostles choose a successor to Judas and meet and pray with other believers.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 1:8

[Jesus said:] “But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 1:1-26

Reflect

What instructions did Jesus give his disciples? Today’s reading reminds us that, even as we lift our eyes to heaven in prayer, we are called to focus our activity here on earth in order to help bring about God’s peace and justice in our time. In what ways can you be a witness for Jesus and share the good news of God’s love wherever you are today?

Pray

Dear God, keep my eyes focused on what you would have me do today. Empower me to be a witness for you and share the good news of Jesus Christ wherever I am. Amen.
