Acts 7:9
““And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him”
Here comes the inditement from Stephen towards these leaders who have put him on trial. This is a graphic illustration of how the leaders in Israel continue to reject God and His plan. Stephen does not call Joseph’s brothers, his brothers, but the patriarchs, which they later became because of God’s mercy, not their merit. Stephen points out that God was with Joseph, and his brothers (the patriarchs) were against him, meaning they were against God Himself
We are either
Working with God
Or we are
Working against God
There is no gray area. All that we do, either praises and worships our Creator, or it elevate and honors ourself. We must be sure what God is up too, and join Him, rather than doing our will and asking God to join us. Father God, thank You for Your Word and Your Spirit to lead and guide me. Convict me to seek You first, and to join You in Your efforts today, and everyday, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Join God today
