Good morning. Today’s reading in Acts shows how the early church began to multiply—both through persecution and Spirit-directed missions.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.
Read
Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
Saul’s conversion reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Who in your life feels impossible? Pray boldly for their encounter with Jesus.
O Lord, grant to me and all Your servants an unwavering resolve to proclaim the gospel of Jesus. No other message can fully speak to the crises of our day; no other message can save, sanctify, and satisfy the souls of men and women. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
