Leg 1, Day 3

I spill things a lot. I don’t know how it was for you growing up, but for my wife and I, spills incited family dinner table panic. I’ve determined though that, since I’m typically leading the way, spills in our house in should be seen the same way that we notice rain clouds coming in—”That’s unfortunate”. With four kids they are many, but we never wanted our kids to have an extreme reaction to something that was not extreme in light of our family values.

Stephen has just finished melting the faces of Jewish leaders and they have incited a riot because the theft of their identity was exposed. How do I condition my life to react the way that Stephen did?

Read Acts 6:11-15

The only way that Stephen had gained this quality of peace in the middle of slander is through his relationship with Christ. See how it mimics what Christ did on the Cross and how he reacted. Often our gut reaction is designed to cover up any exposure of the fakeness. If we were secure in who we were we would not react this way. However the only way to build this quality is to be with God.

Determine now before God to commit to be with Him daily. If you cannot, you might as well close the booklet now. All of this discovery is fed through His spirit and without him we will never be able to know truly who we are. The enemy is set against you—set a regiment in your schedule and find someone you can trust to hold you accountable
