acts in 30 days

“Now, at the very end of the book, the apostle comes to Rome. Thus Jesus’ prophecy that his disciples would be his witnesses ‘to the ends of the earth’ is fulfilled.” Brothers and sisters, thank you for joining us in our Acts in 30 Days prayer devotions. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you and lead your ways to Jesus. This is just the beginning. Please continue reading the Bible because knowing Jesus is a lifelong journey. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 28 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 30 

Paul believed God when there was nothing else to believe. He couldn’t believe the sailors, the ship, the sails, the wind, the centurion, human ingenuity or anything else – only God. He believed God in the midst of the storm when circumstances were at their worst. The storm and the danger were real, but God was more real to Paul than the dreadful circumstances. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 27 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 29 

In the Acts chapter today, Paul declared his continued trust in the gospel of Jesus Christ. He did not retreat from his stand one inch, despite his long imprisonment for the sake of the gospel. We're down to last few days of our Acts in 30 Days prayer devotions. Please continue to open your heart to the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 26 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 28

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 25 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 27 

Paul’s belief that there will be a resurrection was connected to his specific trust in the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross. May the grace of the risen Christ inspire us to stand on His promises and trust on His plans for our lives. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 24 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 26

1) Read Acts 23 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 25 

As we read the Word today, let us pray for a heart that is discerning of God's will and plans. Acts 22:14 encapsulates the duty of everyone before God: To know His will, to see the Just One (Jesus), and to hear the voice of His mouth (His word). 

For today, we encourage you to:  
1) Read Acts 22 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 24 

Paul’s insistence on going to Jerusalem despite the dangers predicted by the Holy Spirit was not a result of rebellion, but an obedient response to the command of the Holy Spirit in his heart. As we pause and reflect today, let's pray for an obedient heart like Paul's. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 21 
2) Reflect and take down notes

What was it like for the apostle Paul to travel around the Roman Empire announcing the good news about the risen Jesus? What drove him to plant new Jesus communities in city after city; and how did people respond to his message? May we have a faith like Paul, always trusting that God will go before him. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 20 
2) Reflect and take down notes

We're down to our last 10 days of our prayer journey with the Book of Acts. Let's keep on doing this together as we read one chapter of Acts a day, reflect and pray the Psalms.  

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 19 
2) Reflect and take down notes 
3) End your reading by praying Psalm 21 

In this chapter of Acts, Paul was seen afraid, fearing that his work in Corinth would be cut short by either opposing Jews or by the highly-charged worldliness around him. The solution to Paul’s fear was for him to obey Jesus’ command to not be afraid, and not keep silent in proclaiming God's word. The call for us today remains the same--keep telling our stories of faith and God will equip us as we minister to people. 

For today, we encourage you to: 
1) Read Acts 18

Today, we reflect on the lives of Paul and Silas. The jailer was so impressed by Paul and Silas – by the love they showed to him, and from their ability to take joy even in misery. This is how God wants our lives to be--to reflect His love and draw people to Him. As we pause today, let us ask for heaven's grace to encourage us to be living testimonies of God's goodness here on earth.
