S – I always strive to have a clear conscience toward God and men.
Acts 24:16 CSB
O – Commentary: Paul always sought to keep his conscience clear (cf. 23:1). “Clear” translates aproskopon (lit., “not causing to stumble, or not offending”), used only two other times in the New Testament, both by Paul (1 Cor. 10:32; Phil. 1:10).
“Acts,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – The two primary commandments are to Love God and Love People. Interesting that Paul seeks to not offend or bring disunity with God or with man. He sought to have no distance with either God or man. He pursued God, through Christ. He loved man enough, to tell them the truth about Jesus and not waver. There is something cool about knowing you have done your best with God and with man.
R – Lord, help me today to give you my very best in our relationship. Empower me to pursue your truth and the way I can live that out. Also, help me to honor others by being honest and compassionate towards them. Help me to grow in my empathy while remaining strong in the principles you have given me to live by each day.
