Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Faithตัวอย่าง

May 30

Introduction

Many faith communities observe today as Ascension Day. 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. 

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 1:1-11

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.
