Space for Grace - Wisdom
‘your journey, your sacrifice, your desire, your space; for His grace.’
Acts 6:8-10 - Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen. But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.
Stephen is just an ordinary guy, helping out and doing his bit….but through the Spirit of God, Stephen is able to debate and withstand debating specialists. This was not for his own sake, but for the sake of the Gospel.
Why do we worry about what we will say, or how we will answer?
We can trust that the Holy Spirit will give us wisdom to know how to answer.
Pray to the Lord for His wisdom, and for courage, that you might be humble and confident before your family, friends and peers.
