Daily Bible Reading — January 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Discipleship

Ọjọ́ 31 nínú 31

January 31

Introduction

Acts 12:1–19: King Herod (Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod the Great) persecutes the followers of Jesus. Peter is arrested and imprisoned but is rescued by an angel.

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 12:5

Peter was kept in jail, but the people of the church were praying earnestly to God for him.

Reflect

What action did the church take when Peter was arrested (verse 5)? How was Peter rescued and what did the angel say to him (verses 6–10)? What were Peter’s thoughts as he was leaving the prison (verse 11)? Where did he go (verse 12)? How did the members of the household react to Rhoda’s message (verse 15)? What does today’s reading teach you about belonging to a community of faith and the power of intercessory prayer?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are always with me, and you have rescued me from the power of sin and death. Strengthen my faith in my daily walk with you. May my words and actions this day give glory and honor to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
