Can I just say that I got this app today and I would really like to know the back story to what’s going on? Does the story start on the 1st? Should I start reading there? I love the idea of this app and I’m really looking to get closer to God and I think that this is an amazing way for myself

Welcome to this app! The app has many different reading plans, some that focus on topics and some that focus on specific books of the bible. This plan is reading through the bible in a year plan. You can start today and follow the readings through the rest of the year, and it will loop back around and start again January. If you’re wanting the full story of Acts, you can go back to the day where Acts 1 started, and add some catch up reading to the day’s reading. It’s all very flexible, however you want to do it. :)

Obadiah vs 3 “The pride of your heart has deceived you…” reminds me to go after freedom in the area of pride so that my heart won’t deceive me!
-
that’s a good word!

Seems like it is Luke. I had no idea!
-
In Acts, who is speaking? It goes back and forth from the third person point of view to the first and then back to the third?
-
It is Luke the doctor. He joins their journey when it switches to the first person. I’ve read before that it may be because of Paul’s eyes issues. Don’t know for sure but definitely interesting.

Luke is believed to be the author of the whole book of Acts. In the introduction to Acts section of my Bible it says: “In the description of the happenings in Acts, certain passages make use of the pronoun “we.” At these points the author includes himself as a companion of Paul in his travels. A historian as careful with details as this author proves to be would have good reasoning for choosing to use “we” in some places and “they” elsewhere. The author was therefore probably present with Paul at the particular events described in the “we” sections.”

I’ve never read Obadiah before!
12 But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
do not boast
in the day of distress.A reminder for us to never celebrate the ruin of others or the distress of others. If our brothers are of misfortune we should reflect upon that as it’s an opportunity to consider our blessings!

A really good reminder for everyday!

Wow! Paul and Silas were so brave and on fire for God through the midst of such trials. It reminded me to be courageous in Him today.

“forbidden by the Holy Spirit”
This phrase spoke to me today. I need to listen more and speak less in prayer.
-
Interesting take-away. Thank you so much for sharing :)
-

That is awesome. Yes that phrase was refreshing to think of how clearly they heard from the Holy Spirit
