Welcome! Today is the sixth day of the Feast of Tabernacles in 2025, also known as the Feast of Tents or Sukkot.
I apologize for getting this daily reading published midday on the 13th. I had a great deal of technical difficulty on the 12th. Although I tried to get the video uploaded my efforts were unsuccessful and I finally had to call it a night. Thank you for your grace. :)
Before we get started with our daily reading I want us to know about a Jewish holiday coming up in 2 days- It's the Joy of the Torah day! This is traditionally the day that Jewish people give thanks for God's Word as well as begin to read the entire Bible for the year! It is a common, communal goal to read the entire Bible every year, following the same schedule together! While I will not be reading the same schedule of the Bible I have a chronological study Bible from the New Living Translation that I intend to read this year, starting on Tuesday, The Joy of the Torah day! Please join with me and prepare to give thanks to God for giving us His Word on October 14, 2025.

Today's reading will cover the Book of Acts Chapters 3 and 4.
Today we will read about some difficulty Peter and John had with the local leaders because they healed a man who was unable to walk since birth and were telling everyone that the healing had been accomplished due to their faith in Jesus and the man's faith in Jesus. In response to being told not to continue witnessing about Jesus, Peter and John asked the religious leaders what they thought God would say in this situation- should Peter and John obey God or the leaders? In the same way we need to remember to follow God's rules rather than man made rules that teach us not to obey God.
We will also read about the community of believers looking out for one another and caring for one another the way that Jesus had taught them.
In our discussion for daily application we will talk about remembering how Jesus taught us that we have been freely provided for by God and so we need to also freely share with and be willing to share with others the things we have been given by God so that no one is in need!
