Acts 7:20-29 (NIV)
Read by: Javelin Lewis
What has the LORD set you free from?
Today on daily read, Stephen continues telling the story of God's faithfulness to humanity through Israel in the story of Moses. If you were in my church, and the preacher said, don’t we all got a story to tell? You would immediately hear the church folk around you say, amen!
Yall we all got a story, and we all have been made by a creator who loves us and longs to redeem us and restore us. Therefore, we have a story to tell. Not just of the ways that the world has rough us up, but of the ways that God has picked us up. Not just of the times that we can’t see a way forward, but of the ways that God has seen us through.
As you listen to the beginning of the story of Moses, take some time, wherever you are, to reflect on the goodness of God and the ways that he has seen you through… and for those of you who may not feel like God is there with you in the moment, take comfort in the reality that Moses, at this point in the story, may not have even been aware that God was for him and the people he would be called to serve.
----------REFLECT----------
1. What came to mind as you listened to this passage?
2. As you reflect on your story, where do you think God may have been present in those early times, looking out for you watching over you? Take a moment to reflect on God’s presence in your life.
3. God doesn’t just save us from something, he saves us for something. There is a reason for the faithfulness of God in your life beyond what you could see at the time, perhaps even what you can see right now… take a moment and listen to Jesus.
God of all goodness, help us to discover your Story and find our place in it.
