Weekly Truth

from the This Is the Old Testament reading plan


Acts 13:17-23

BY She Reads Truth

Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go. 

This week we will finish memorizing Acts 13:17–23 by focusing on the final verse. Strengthen your understanding and memorization of the full passage by writing it on a piece of paper or typing it out as a note on your phone.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, made the people prosper during their stay in the land of Egypt, and led them out of it with a mighty arm. 18 And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness; 19 and after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 This all took about 450 years. After this, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 After removing him, he raised up David as their king and testified about him, “I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my will.”

23 From this man’s descendants, as he promised, God brought to Israel the Savior, Jesus.
—Acts 13:17–23

    How amazing would it be if we lived in a world led by a God-fearing influencer/president like the days when Saul and David ruled as king!

    Happy Sunday everyone! ☀️

    Hi back Tina! Sending hugs back across the pond to you sweet sister. Mari V I’m also in the 80 degree morning heat, but I struggle when it gets this hot. Gives me violent headaches…so I’ll ask for your prayers while we sing our praises to God this morning. Love and hugs to all y’all.

    Good morning dear SRT sisters! Wishing you all a happy Sunday as you attend your Sunday services. It’s very hot here, on my side of the pond, but I’m one of the weird ones that really loves the heat. We have reached over 100° and that’s OK. I am blessed that I get to see all four seasons. God is good! Enjoying coffee and Jesus on this 80° early morning weather. Right now I am reminded of the song “I am a child of God”
