MEMORY VERSE: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" Psalm 139:23-24
[This is one of my favorite verses, and I just wanted to review it!]
NOTES: (v.1-19) Saul was persecuting followers of Jesus an was on the road to Damascus when a light from heaven flashed around him, and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
When Saul asked who the voice was, he replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do."
Saul got up, and was blind for three days and did not eat or drink anything. In Damascus, the Lord called to Ananias in a vision and told him to go to Saul and restore his sight. At first, Ananias was hesitant because he know about how Saul persecuted the Christians, but he eventually obeyed the Lord. Ananias went to Saul and placed his hands on Saul and restored his sight.
-(v.20-31) Saul began to preach about Jesus and the resurrection, but the Jews plotted to kill him. Saul learned of their plan and went to Jerusalem. Initially, the disciples feared him and did not believe he was a true disciple, but Barnabas took him in and brought him to the apostles. Saul stayed with the apostles and preached boldly and fearlessly in the name of the Lord.
-(v.32-43) Peter healed a paralytic named Aeneas--those around him saw and turned to the Lord.
Peter also raised a woman named Dorcas, who always did good and helped the poor, from the dead. This became known all over the region and many people believed in the Lord.
ACT OF LOVE: I had art class today, and as I was putting away my supplies I saw that all the paint-brush holders were knocked over and really disorganized. I set them all upright and organized it so that it wasn't so messy!
ALSO..I was going up to shower, when I realized that Bambi probably had to pee. So I took him out and cleaned him. When I was going back in I realized that the trash hadn't been emptied in a while. So I emptied all the trash in the house and replaced it with new bags.
My act of love today was willingly doing small chores without being asked to or receiving acknowledgement!
