Acts 6:8-15; Psalm 119:17-24; John 6:22-29

Filled with grace

Stephen’s work was blessed by God. The Church was growing but opposition was gathering. The same dynamic that was played out in Jesus’ life is now being seen with Stephen. It will be seen in the lives of so many Christians. There is certainly blessing and grace and the power of the Spirit, but there is also misunderstanding, opposition, hatred and darkness. We pray for wisdom, courage, perseverance and patience.
