God Always at Work

 Acts 7                   Psalm 100           Job 8-10

In Acts 7 the recording of Stephen’s last words are recorded as he reminds the local Hebrew community leaders that their history is one of God continually reminding them of their responsibility to follow his ways and the many ways they have failed. Outlining for them the call of Abraham to their day their failure to be obedient has led them to this place where they have betrayed God and become murderers after receiving the law and then failing to follow it. Their reaction is swift and violent as they drive him out of the city and stone him to death. Saul, who would become Paul, stood watch over their robes.

 Plasm 100 reminds us that we are to shout joyfully to the Lord and give him praise with thanksgiving in our hearts. He will be faithful to us to all generations.

In Job 8 through 10 another of Job’s friends challenges the value of his faith. Once again Job reminds them that we can’t be right and be in dispute with God. He continues to outline the many ways God has been faithful.
