Today we read one chapter in the Acts of the Apostles and two chapters in 1 Samuel.
April 23: Acts 4, 1 Samuel 9, 1 Samuel 10 (click on the chapter to begin reading)
Acts 4. Peter and John were arrested and hauled before the Sanhedrin, were told not to speak about Jesus anymore. Their response? “Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” They were let go and continued telling about Jesus and his resurrection, and a good time was had by all, sharing all things.
1 Samuel 9. Saul was a tall and handsome man, his father had lost some donkeys, so he sent Saul and his servant to look for them. Not finding them for three days they went to the prophet Samuel, God tells Samuel to meet them, and so they meet up, and thus Saul was chosen to be King.
In 1 Samuel 10 Saul was Anointed King and proclaimed King over all Israel.
