Wana appDaily Bible Reading – June 2022: God’s Renewing Word of New Life in the SpiritChikamu
June 15
Introduction
This chapter begins with the first of Saul’s (later known as Paul) three missionary journeys to spread the Good News to the Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world. Saul and Barnabas are chosen and sent to Seleucia (on the Mediterranean coast of Syria) and Cyprus. They encounter opposition from the governor’s magician, and the magician is struck blind.
Scripture Reading
Acts 13:1-12
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 13:2b
The Holy Spirit said to them, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
Reflect
How did Saul, Barnabas, and their supporters prepare for this missionary journey (verse 3)? What preparations take place within your community of faith for those called to serve the Lord? Why did the governor’s magician oppose Saul and Barnabas? What happened to him (verse 11)? Are there those today who seek to dissuade people from following the Lord?
Pray
Lord God, you continue to set apart those called to spread your Word. Help me be an ambassador for sharing the good news of your love and salvation with those who do not know you, and strengthen me for this task. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 13:13-41: Paul preaches the message about God’s salvation.
