Daily D – Acts 16:14

by David Bowman | Oct 13, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Acts 16:14 A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying. (CSB)

Here’s a good prayer for those you want to see come to know Jesus: Ask Our Father in Heaven to open that person’s heart to respond favorably to the invitation to know and experience the gift of salvation.

On this occasion, Paul prayed and preached. God used Paul’s prayers and preaching to open Lydia’s heart to respond. This is similar to what Jesus did after the resurrection in Luke 24:45, which says, “Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”

Who do you know who could use an open heart and mind toward God? Ask God to open their hearts to receive his gift of salvation, to open their minds to his grace and truth.

I will pray for those who need to know and experience Jesus.

Our Father, I bring to you today loved ones, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances who need to know you. Open their hearts and minds so they may see you for who you are, receive your gift of salvation, and become the kind of followers who invite others to know and experience you. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
