S - Acts 7:54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
O - Stephen was telling the Jews that they were acting just like the Israelites were in the wilderness and throughout history in the fact that they were not truly following God. This impacted them greatly. But instead of accepting the rebuke and changing they decided to stone him.
A - I need to stand up for Him in ALL situations. I think that there is a right and a wrong way to stand up for Jesus but I need to be careful that I hold things back to protect others feelings when they really need to hear the truth. Sometimes people need to hear nothing but the truth and I then let God take care of the rest.
P - Heavenly Father, I come to you today out of awe and reverence. I bow down before you and worship you not for just what you have done for me but because of your greatness and your perfection. Give me the strength and courage to stand up for you, not because you need my protection, but because others need to know the truth about you. Protect me as I do this and give me wisdom to know the right words to use to positively affect them. Bless, heal and protect my family and me today.
