S - Acts 22:25 When they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to the officer standing there, “Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been tried?”
O - Paul took much pursecution throughout his life and he was courageous enough to continue his preaching eventhough this was the very act that caused him this pursecution. Here we see him again being bound to be beaten for his testimony. He didn't, however, just sit there without a word, he asked a very simple question that brought the commander and soldiers to a complete stop.
A - It's ok and many times good to stand up for what I believe in and am called to do even if others don't like it or are bothered by it. Instead of me not saying anything in order that I might offend them or make them angry, I need to stand up for myself and for what is right. God will use my words cut to their hearts.
P - God, You are amazing and I stand and marvel at all you have done in my life and continue to do daily. Be with my family and me today and give us favor and blessings that overflow our cups. Give me the wisdom and strength to open up my mouth and stand up for myself when I am treated wrongly or others are disrespecting you.
