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.
