2 Kings 10:32-12:21, Acts 18:1-22, Psalm 145:1-21, Proverbs 18:1 



Pray: Consider praying to song to begin your time with the Lord in His Word. It’s so powerful when the Psalms are sung as they were originally written to be sung. Go to www.youtube.com and search “Shane and Shane Psalm 145” to hear a beautiful rendition of Scripture to song. If you prefer to keep technology out of this time, consider simply reading Psalm 145 aloud as your prayer.

Read: As the Psalm calls God’s people to do, meditate on God’s greatness, majesty, and glorious splendor as you read His Word.

Edify: It is fascinating in the Book of Acts to see ordinary people who were tentmakers, like Aquila and Priscilla, who are about the eternal work of God’s kingdom building while faithfully working in everyday life. They lived in a tough city (think Las Vegas), and it was there they were active in ministry and in supporting and encouraging Paul’s work. The promises of Psalm 145 were coming true in their lives. God protects those who love Him (Psalm 145:20) as they attest to God’s “everlasting kingdom” as “faithful followers” in Corinth.

Practice: Make one eternal investment amidst the ordinary day. Share a Scripture with someone by writing or speaking it. Serve, give, pray with, or show hospitality towards a “Paul-like” figure in your life.
