Introduction
Stephen is questioned by the High Priest, and he begins his defense by recounting Israel’s history. In today’s reading, Stephen’s speech begins with the call of Abraham and then continues with the story of the patriarchs and the birth of Moses.
Today’s Scripture Reading: Acts 7:1-22
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 7:2b
Before our ancestor Abraham had gone to live in Haran, the God of glory appeared to him in Mesopotamia.
Reflect
The High Priest’s opening question refers to the lies that Stephen’s opponents bribed some men to say (see 6:13-14 from yesterday’s reading). In response, Stephen recounts Israel’s history. What does his speech reveal about God? Have you ever been a victim of someone’s lies? If so, how did you handle the situation?
Pray
God of glory, I stand on your Word, trusting in your promises. You alone are the God of my salvation, and I thank and praise you for your steadfast love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
