Daily Bible Reading Day 202

Psalms 31-33;  Acts 21:15-40.  Psalm 31 is another lament. Psalm 32 however is a confession of sin. He describes himself as wasting away while hiding his sin. He isn't describing what God is doing to him so much as describing what we go through inside ourselves while dealing with the guilt. Psalm 33 appears to be a thanksgiving psalm. Perhaps it expresses the joy of forgiveness.

Paul gets to Jerusalem. After sharing with the elders the conversions on this last trip the elders ask Paul to take a vow and go up to the temple. They want him to show the brethren that he still keeps the Law and thinks it's okay for any Jew who is a Christian to do so. While there some Jews see Paul and recognize him and take him outside and start beating him. They believe he has brought a Gentile into the temple. While beating him the Roman soldiers show up and they arrest Paul. After a brief interrogation the centurion allows Paul to address the crowd.
