Scripture

Acts 10

Click here to read today’s passage on Bible Gateway

Observation

What did God tell Peter to do, and what was his response? What was the point of the vision?

Application

Am I prepared to do whatever God instructs me, even if it goes against my biases and prejudices? Do I understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:

Dear Father in heaven, Thank You that Your Spirit filled Peter and guided him. Thank You that he obeyed, and shared the Gospel with the gentile men. I praise You that You don’t show favoritism, and that Jesus died for people of every nation, race, and language! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Pray to BLESS!

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)

• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)
