Acts 7:54-60 - The Stoning of Stephen. Saul was there, Paul... holding the garments of those who where stoning him. God used Stephen filled with the Holy Spirit to boldly testify that Jesus was the Messiah, that he fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, and the law. Stephen witnessed to Saul. He planted seeds in Saul's life. He died not knowing who Saul would become - the apostle Paul. You never know when you are being used. You may have the ball in your hands, shoot for the 3 pointer, and never get to hear the crowd roar as the ball rolls on the rim through the net. God is using you.
