Acts 8:1a
"Now Saul was consenting to his execution.
Saul, stood by and witnessed the stoning of Stephen. He didn't pick up a stone yet he didn't do anything to stop it. Stephen didn't do anything wrong other than speak the truth.
We have a responsibility to speak up when we see someone being unjustly accused. Our silence is also consenting to what is being said. Saul's silence weighed heavy on his conscience, it wasn't too long after this that he encountered Jesus.
Dear Lord God, give us words to speak when we are called upon. Help us see those that are being persecuted and act. Lord, thank you for sending us your Holy Spirit to guide us. Help us recognize that it is not us but you working through us. May we all live lives of living examples, through Christ our Lord, amen.
Have a blessed day, you are cherished more than you realize, He died for you.
