Daily Bible Reading–January 2021 God's Word of LifeSample
January 25
Introduction
Today’s reading introduces us to Saul, who is transformed from persecutor to apostle. He is a faithful follower of the Law of Moses and is on his way to Damascus, intending to arrest followers of “the Way of the Lord.” But Jesus appears to him and chooses him to preach the Good News.
Today's Scripture Reading
Acts 9:1-25
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 9:20
He went straight to the synagogues and began to preach that Jesus was the Son of God.
Reflect
Why was Saul going to Damascus? What did Jesus say to him? What role did Ananias play in Saul’s conversion? Why was his life in danger once he began preaching that Jesus was the Messiah? In what ways have you experienced the presence of Christ in your life?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Teach me to listen for and heed your voice. Help me to experience your presence anew, that I may bear witness to you and proclaim your message of love and salvation. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Christians facing persecution because of their faith
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 9:26-43: Saul arrives in Jerusalem, and Peter travels throughout Judea.
