The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 16:20 (NLT)
20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the LORD will be joyful.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 122:1 (NLT)
1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
The Word of God for encouragement:
Acts 2:41-47 (HCSB)
41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.
43 Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.
44 Now all the believers were together and held all things in common.
45 They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need.
46 Every day they devoted themselves [to meeting] together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with a joyful and humble attitude,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.
My observation:
I am so looking forward to reading through the book of Acts this month. I have selected the following verse as my theme verse for our journey through the Acts of the Holy Spirit of God through this first century church.
Acts 1:8 (KJV)
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, O how I love your church. Father, I know that what you did in planting your church in the first century you can do again in this century.
Father God, I pray that the Holy Spirit, and his mighty power, would be present in our day like it was in the days of the first century church.
Father, I pray that you would send a Holy Spirit revival, and begin it in the churches who preach the gospel of Christ. Father, if we ever needed your wisdom and power, we sure do need it now. Lord, set your church on fire. Amen and Amen.
Acts 2:17 (KJV)
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
My song:

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
