Today's Readings: Exodus 35, 36; Acts 10
NO FAVORITISM
Scripture
But God has shown me that I should no longer think of anyone as impure or unclean. . . .
Then Peter replied, "I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right."
Acts 10. 28b, 34-35
Observation
The ground is level at the foot of the cross.
Application (How will I be different today because of what I have just read?)
A much need reminder that it not my "job" to decide who deserves to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. The message is open for everyone/anyone who receives it.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for all the times that I judge someone's worthiness to receive the gift of grace. You came and lived and died and was resurrected--not just for me, but for everyone. Father God, help me to be a welcoming servant. Help me to share Your Good News with everyone, trusting that You will decide who will hear it and who won't. Thank You for Your love for me!
