The good, the bad, and the good

Name: Chad
Scripture: Acts 7:1-19
This is basically Stephen giving the headlines of the Old Testament

OAP: Not only did Stephen have the face of an angel but he knew his stuff aswell. I imagine another one of the reasons that he was stoned was he embarrassed the priests. He gave them a lecture on the material that they were experts on, that they knew and put them in the place of those attacking God. He insulted them, shamed them, tried to one up them, and he did it all with the face of an angel. I have been learning alot about listening to God recently, questioning my own set of good (not that it is good, but rather if it is God's good). I am begining to find that it takes a whole lot of guts to go against what you know is good for God's good. Stephen did this.

God, I am hesitant, slow to act on this, I doubt that it is what you want when you reveal it to me. I don't think that it is bad to be slow, but I wish I were not so quick to go the other way. Thank you for slowing me down, making me reexamine, reconsider, give back to you, wrestle with it and give it to you again. Continue to grow me here.
