DECEMBER 22, Acts 20:6-12

Have you ever slept in church when listening to a message or in a JW class? Hopefully not. However, someone during the time of Paul did just that...

In Troas, Paul visited the church and preached on the Lord’s Day – which means Sunday. It was a very long session of preaching. Paul was zealous and fiery in his preaching and the hearers were hungry for the Word of God. The meeting place was packed with people. Paul preached all day long and through the night. Then at midnight, a person named Eutychus, who was in the upper chamber, fell asleep, fell from the 3rd floor, and died! Was Paul insulted that someone was sleeping when he was preaching? Of course, not. Instead, Paul used God’s power to raise this man from the dead! The people heard the power of God’s Word! They also saw the power of God, for Eutychus lived again!

These Christians were hungry for God’s Word. Are you? If you are physically hungry, you would want to eat something. Likewise if you are hungry for God’s Word, you would read the Bible! Do you read the Bible every day? I know it is tough and sometimes, we will forget. But dear child, press on and the Lord will reward you. You must desire to read the Bible to grow just like a newborn desiring milk for growth.

Write down 1 Peter 2:2.

Thought: When you read the Bible daily, you will not go ‘hungry’ spiritually.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Please help me to be diligent in studying the Bible. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
