Thursday

(Acts 5:27-29) The high priest said, “We gave you strict orders to stop teaching in that name.” . . . But Peter and the apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than men.” There are always people who would like to tell us how we should live our lives. Many are motivated by their love for us . . . some not. That is why it is important to take time in prayer to get to know what God wants.
