Daily Bible Reading – May 2021 God’s Word of Spiritual Renewal预览
May 17
Introduction
Peter and John return to the other followers and report what the Council had said. The believers join together and pray for boldness to speak the Lord’s message. They continue to meet and pray and share their possessions so that no one would be in need.
Today’s Scripture Reading: Acts 4:23-37
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 4:31b
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God’s message with boldness.
Reflect
Describe the believers’ prayer (verses 24-30). What happened immediately after they prayed? Have you ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit while praying? In verses 32-37 we learn that, from the beginning, the believers met to pray and share their possessions. Can you envision what it would be like if people everywhere followed this example?
Pray
Almighty God, you are master and creator of heaven, earth, and sea and all that is in them. Empower me to speak your message with boldness and to share what I have with those in need. God of wonder and miracles, I pray in the name of your Son Jesus. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Faith communities with limited financial resources
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 7:1-22: Stephen defends himself before the Council.
