Daily Reading

Acts 15-16

Daily Verse

After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia,

concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Acts 16:10

Daily Thought

They were in prison.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.
~Acts 16:25

Praying for salvation.

Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.
~Acts 16:26

Not for their own.

The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!"
~Acts 16:27-28

But for the salvation of others.

The jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
~Acts 16:29-30

In humility consider others better than yourselves.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests,

but also to the interests of others.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:3-5

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

God, give me opportunities to share Your gospel with others.

And when those opportunities come, give me the wisdom to see them and the boldness to take them.

Amen
