Day 14

Weekly Truth

from the This Is the New Testament reading plan


Acts 13:27-31

BY She Reads Truth

Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go. 

As we survey the New Testament, we’re memorizing Acts 13:27–31. This week, we’ll work on adding verse 28. Each day, revisit this verse and say it aloud at least two times. See if you can recite both verses 27 and 28 from memory by the end of the week. 

27 Since the residents of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him or the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, they have fulfilled their words by condemning him. 28 Though they found no grounds for the death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him killed. 29 When they had carried out all that had been written about him, they took him down from the tree and put him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and he appeared for many days to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
—Acts 13:27–31

    After receiving a desperate phone call from my sister and then spending three and a half hours with her, crying with her, hugging her, rubbing her back, and being there to support her, I came home and chilled. Right before I laid down I read my Beth Moore devotional, “Portraits of Devotions” and wow the last two paragraphs were what I needed to “hear”. They reminded me that my God, my Savior Christ and my Holy Spirit will never ever “drop or let go of the rope”. If you want a good devotional book that walks you most of the Bible this is the one to buy.
    Sisters I have a praise in my two brothers, Richard and Arthur, after talking to them yesterday I know my son (Andrew), his fiancé (Dani), and I don’t have to walk this path alone with my sister and nephew. We have their total support.
    I have a second praise in that my parents — I guess you can say it came from my grandparents — instilled in my siblings and myself that family and the family’s well being is more important than money or much of anything else. I feel this comes from the Christian beliefs we were all raised with.
    Well I have rambled enough have a blessed and wonderful Lord’s day sisters.

    Hi, SRT Family… me again… please pray for son Jon’s continued back pain but also for my feelings of rejection.

    He asked that his dad and I don’t check in it’s him every day b/c he doesn’t want to have to reply that it’s still bad. I get how he feels, but my feelings are hurt just the same! I have many prayer warriors on this, and they’re asking for updates, and I have nothing to tell them.

    The cortisone injection (1.5 weeks ago) hasn’t kicked in yet, and we had hoped it would have by now, but his herniated disc was so inflamed, it hasn’t responded yet. His girlfriend is arriving from Brazil on Tuesday on a student visa, and I want him to be able to enjoy having her stateside again.

    Thanks, sisters!

    Oh, Madison. I am so sorry for your loss. The message at church today was surrounding the resurrection. You WILL see this child again someday. I am sorry it is not now.

    Unrelated, in the message this am, it was said that resurrection (as we know it and of OUR doing) is not possible. Then I heard the preacher say BUT GOD, and I thought about the many things we’ve talked about here, putting BUT GOD in front of it. Sweet! What a mighty God we serve!

    Maura, I’m praying for you. Hope you are doing well or as well as can be.

    Oh Kelly… Thank you so much for praying please continue. I can definitely see last week she was pushed and encouraged and even though there were tears and she was afraid, she is much stronger now and knows she can do things she never thought she could.

    Good morning ladies, I’m sitting at the lake watching the sunrise. It’s beautiful and I’m reminded of how fortunate I am to see all the beauty God has created for us. I’ve been struggling in my marriage for the past year, I moved out and I bought a house. My husband basically decided he didn’t want to be married anymore and now he’s coming around and wants to try to make things work. I’m lost and I’m not sure what to do now. I pray everyday that God helps me to give me strength and direction in my marriage. Ladies, please pray for me to help me find my way again.
