Meanwhile…

Life is not one thing happening at one time. God is always orchestrating multiple things at one time. I heard a person say that so many things had to happen for two people to meet and develop a marriage relationship. They used the lives of parents, grandparents, and great grandparents to make their point. 

Things that happened one hundred years ago have an impact on what’s happening in your life today. This is a lesson we can draw from this passage. Cornelius prayed often. In today’s passage we learn that his prayers on this occasion led the Holy Spirit to tell him to send for Peter. 

The men Cornelius sent to Peter were nearing the town. 

Meanwhile…

The Holy Spirit was preparing Peter for the arrival of Cornelius’s men. 

God is always working multiple things, at the same time, to ensure that your faith walk will end in His presence eternally. Instead of trying to figure everything out BEFORE you take the step He’s telling you to take, apply your faith to the moment and trust that He’s already been working “behind the scenes” for this very moment. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 10:30-33

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothesstood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
