The right answers
Acts chapter 10 verse 31.
He told me, "Cornelius, Your prayers are heard and your charities have been noticed by God!"
Have you ever encountered "mister goody two shoes" The person who had the right answers and seemed to be the "teachers pet" or "the brown noser" we would call them? They are wherever we go. Personally I have never let the "know it all" or "show offs" bother me. Let them have the lime light if they want it. I remember the smile I got and the way I felt when I was asked the question and was able to give the right answer. I may not have been the "brainiac" of the class but I got by and maybe even learned something new. We all have talents and skills that others need and it is when we call out for help that we find the answers. Jesus did not have favorites. He loved and payed attention to all people. Jesus loved the disciples but He loved the children and the blind just the same. I read today about the many encounters people have that bring them to call out for help and how their prayers are answered. It could be the answer He gave when called upon for an illness we are dealing with. It could be something that is affecting others, maybe marital problems or addictions. The list of reasons why people pray is never ending but it is important that we do pray in our time of need. In Psalms 107 we read how God is there to for everyone who calls out to Him. No matter who you are, if you call out to God and believe that He is there to help you, He will and then watch as His promises come true. The right answers will come and your joy will lead to thankfulness which leads to having the right thoughts of wanting to have more of God and His love. God's word is given through the bible and as you read about Jesus you will learn that God loves all people who seek Him.
In Acts chapter 10 we see that Cornelius was an average person who believed in God and faithfully praised Him thanking God for His daily provision. He prayed for others to know God as he does and how God answered his prayers. God does care and is there for everyone. Let his love touch your life today.
Thank-you Father for Jesus and His example to love everyone. 😊
Psalms chapter 107 verse 1 and 2.
Say "Thank You" to the Lord for being so good, for always being so loving and kind. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others He has saved you from your enemies.
Psalms chapter 106 verse 1 and 2.
"Hallelujah! Thank You, Lord! How good you are! Your love for us continues on forever. Who can ever list the glorious miracles of God? who can ever praise Him half enough?"
Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5 and 6.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
