Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
Test your memory by saying Acts 13:17–23 from memory aloud, reflecting on all you have learned in your study of the Old Testament.
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 13:17–2

This has been such an incredible study! Easily one of my favorites. And the one I have spent the most time in this comments section, praying over you ladies and learning from you. ❤ I just love this community so dearly.
Happy Sunday! The day of rest and renewal for our soul! How many need that?! Give you cares and worries and troubles over to our Big God! He cares for each of us and wants to take our burdens away! It would be a great day to binge-watch The Chosen. It gives you such a great understanding and perspective of our human-ness and how Jesus was here to be one of us, with us, for us.
KELLY – thank you. They had some intensive counseling this week. Your prayers are so appreciated.
This study has prompted me to read some of the OT books in full. I’ve started with 1st Samuel. Israel sees other nations (pagan, of course) with kings and demands an earthly king to rule them. How many times have I looked to this carnal world to a. Want what the “Jones” have thinking that will make me happy and b. Set God aside in the very moments that I need His grace and mercy to change my selfish heart. Acts 17:27 “For in Him we live and have our being…we are His offspring.” There you have it! Nothing in this earthly realm ever compare to our Father in heaven. Have a lovely Sunday, sweet ladies and a wonderful week.
What beautiful truth.
