Day 31 — Stephen's Defense: Abraham (Acts 7:1-8) | May 26
from Acts Daily Devotional Podcast · host Derek Sanford
The high priest asked Stephen one question: 'Are these things true?' Most would have defended themselves or apologized. Stephen told a story. He started with Abraham, the father everyone in that room revered. And the first detail he highlighted was devastating: God appeared to Abraham in Mesopotamia, pagan territory, nowhere near Jerusalem or the promised land. Before the temple existed, before sacred geography mattered, God was already moving. Abraham spent his entire life as a wanderer in the land he'd been promised, never owning a foot of ground, holding only to God's word. Stephen's point cut deep: God has never been confined to a location. Faith follows Him wherever He goes.
