—Acts 6:1-15

Stephen was chosen as a leader because he was filled with the Spirit and had wisdom. This section of scripture leads up to Stephen’s ultimate death. Many men and women of spirit and wisdom have given their lives for the sake of the gospel. Like kernels of wheat that fall and die, however, those lives were not in vain. Because of their devotion and life’s testimony, others had the opportunity to come to Christ. Pray today for those who are putting their lives on the line for Christ. Pray for courage to speak the truth boldly, pray for protection, and pray for a mighty harvest of new believers to be born out of their work.
