Daily Bible Reading Day 198

Psalms 19-21; Acts 19:21-41.   Psalms 19 is a favorite. It begins by extolling creation and how this brings glory to God. Then David moves to the Law (torah) of The Lord. I wonder how far into Book I of Psalms this is. Psalm 20 has a distinctive ring of a community psalm since "we" is quite prominent. Psalms 21 has "we" as well but doesn't stand out as much.

A protest mob breaks out in Ephesus. The craftsmen are stirred up because they are afraid Paul's preaching will rob them economically. The disciples won't let Paul come into the assembly. Finally the town clerk gets them to calm down and then dismisses them.
