The Antagonist - June 11, 2023 DD

In this episode of Daily Devotions with Pastor Sumrall, Acts chapter seven, shows us the dynamics of conflicts. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a quarrel, wondering who instigated the fight? The story of Moses in Acts 7:23-28 provides us with valuable insights. When Moses attempted to reconcile the quarreling parties, He faced opposition from the one who was wrong. The person who attacks you when you seek peace is the one pushing the fight.

Acts 7:23-28 - “When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian. He supposed that his brothers would understand that God was giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not understand. And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?’ But the man who was wronging his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
