S - Acts 11:17 And since God gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to stand in God’s way?
O - Peter had gone to the Gentiles and preached to them. Others were criticizing him for preaching and eating with them so he relayed his vision to them as well as what happened when he preached to the Gentiles. When they received the Holy Spirit Peter realized that God was giving the same gift that they had received on Pentecost to the Gentiles and at that point he understood that they too could be saved and receive eternal life. If this was the case, he wasn't going to stand in God's way.
A - I too may have thoughts and feelings about a situation and may not understand what God is doing or why He is doing something. However, since God is the creator of everything He also has the right and ability to do whatever He feels is right. Since this is the case, who am I to say He should or shouldn't be doing something? I will accept and even welcome things that I don't understand when I realize that God is truly in charge.
P - God, I come to you today and lay down my ideas and my thoughts of how things should work and I look to you for your word on what you are doing in my life and other's around me. I want to live in obedience to your will and even if I don't understand something I submit myself to you and your will. I pray that you will protect, heal and bless myself and my family today and let me be a shining light for your kingdom.
