Job 5; Psalm 108; Acts 10-11
Scripture: Acts 10:2 " He and all his family were God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly."
Observation: Cornelius was a roman soldier who knew about the God of the Jews and respected their teachings. He prayed regularly, perhaps daily, and gave money to those in need. If, however, that had been enough for salvation, this story told by Luke would not have been necessary--- but it was.
Application: God prepares hearts to hear the Gospel. He prepares us to speak it. Many people are doing everything they know to do to follow a God they think ( or desperately hope) exists. Like Cornelius, they need to hear the true story of Jesus, and we need to be telling it.
Prayer: Father God, don't let me miss a heart You have prepared to hear the story of Your precious Son and my Lord and Savior.
