“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?” (Acts 11:15-17 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, opposing You is unthinkable–yet I do it without thinking. When I disrespect or reject something You do in someone because it is not what or how I think it should be, I am opposing You. Forgive me! Help me put away assumptions and learn more about You so I can recognize when You speak, act, or do something in someone with which I am unfamiliar. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
