Today we read one chapter in the Acts of the Apostles and two chapters in 2 Samuel.
May 8: Acts 19, 2 Samuel 13, 2 Samuel 14 (click on the chapter to begin reading)
Acts 19. Paul took the land route to Ephesus, where he met believers that had not even heard of the Holy Spirit. For two years Paul did many miracles there and did defeat evil Spirits, all to glorify Christ. Paul and the many believers were bad for business, which was the idol worship of Artemis (Diana). This led to the riot at Ephesus.
2 Samuel 13 details the seedy story of Amnon and Tamar, all within David’s family. David’s son Absalom then killed Amnon, after which Absalom fled to Geshur.
2 Samuel 14. Absalom returned to Jerusalem, and David forgave Absalom.
