Stephen continues his message with Moses. Moses was born into a Jewish family but raised in Pharaoh's house. At age 40 he goes to visit his brethren. Discovers an Egyptian guard beating a Jewish a slave. Moses decides to intervene and kills the guard. He thinks the Jews will understand his intention but they don't. Then in the wilderness they show that they really don't understand what is going on when they ask Aaron to build them a god to worship as the god who brought them out of Egypt. Actually some of them will never get it right because they brought gods with them from Egypt into the wilderness and didn't give them up.

Daily Bible Reading Day 177
Job 4-6; Acts 7:20-43. Job is not going to be easy to summarize. Job's friend, Eliphaz, sees Job's first words as suggesting that he doesn't know why he is in such bad times. Eliphaz says that God is just and that only the wicked feel the pain of God's wrath. Job answers back that this isn't the case. The Almighty has wounded him without cause.
