Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we'll be looking at scriptures on the Holy Spirit and what it means to live devoted and holy. Alongside these passages we'll be reading through Psalm 119 and some of the following Psalms each day. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

The Holy Spirit

  • The third person of the Trinity. So the Holy Spirit is God.
  • He is the Spirit of holiness, of truth, of faith, the Counsellor who will always be with us as believers.
  • The Holy Spirit is God’s great gift to those for whom Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord.
  • Because He lives in them, the bodies of believers have become temples of the Holy Spirit.
  • As God lives in the believer, he or she is to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to enable the fulfillment of His will.
  • He reproduces the character of Christ within believers.
  • They are able to use spiritual gifts or express supernatural manifestations of the Spirit who lives in them.

Acts 6:1-10

Seven men chosen to serve1As the number of disciples increased, the Greek-speaking Jews complained about the Hebrew-speaking Jews, because their widows were not receiving a fair amount in the daily distribution of food.2So the twelve apostles called a meeting of all the disciples and said: "We should not be involved in these administrative details but should be able to concentrate on preaching and teaching God's Word.3-4So, brothers, select some men from among you who have the reputation of being wise and men of the Spirit. We will hand this responsibility over to them, while we devote ourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word."5Everyone responded well to this proposal. They selected Stephen, who was full of faith and the Holy Spirit, Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas who came from Antioch and was a convert to Judaism.6These seven men were presented to the apostles, who laid their hands on them and prayed for them.7As a result of these changes, God's Word spread further and the number of disciples increased rapidly in Jerusalem. Even a large number of priests became obedient believers.Stephen falsely accused8Stephen, full of God's grace and power, performed extraordinary wonders and miraculous signs among the people.9However, opposition also arose, especially from those who belonged to the so-called Synagogue of the Freed Slaves. These were Jews from Cyrene and Alexandria and the provinces of Cilicia and Asia.10But when they argued with Stephen they had no answers to his wisdom, nor to the anointed words he spoke by the Spirit.

Psalm 119:169-176

ת Taw169May my cry come before you, Lord; give me understanding according to your word.170May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise.171May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.172May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.173May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.174I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives me delight.175Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.176I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
