Acts 10:5-6 Now send some men to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon, a tanner who lives near the seashore.
Not only that, He’s actively doing something for us, sometimes we can see it and sometimes we can’t, but we can rest in the sure knowledge that He is making things happen. He even sent an angel to a Roman Centurion called Cornelius. If we need an angel God will send one, and if God needs a particular person to come to our aid He will send them too!
Cornelius was told what to do and he immediately instructed two of his servants, and one of his own devout soldiers, to go and find Simon Peter, which involved more people in carrying out God’s plan. God will use however many people it takes to help us.😊
As we keep trusting Him to do what needs to be done, and obeying His instructions, we will see His mighty hand at work and God’s plan will be worked out. A few verses before it tells us God had seen Cornelius’s gifts and heard his prayers and was on his case, and I believe God has heard your prayers too and is on your case right now whether you can see it or not.
He may be manoeuvring all kinds of people into place to help you or your loved ones, but whatever it takes, He wants you to have confidence He’s on it for you. So be encouraged today and know God has not forgotten you and He has your address in His address book! He knows where you live.😊
Cornelius’s story reminds us to obey God’s instructions, and be on the lookout for God’s help to arrive. It’s on its way, whether you live in a high rise flat in a city or by the seashore, down a dusty back lane somewhere, or in an average road, God knows where you live and He is there with you right now working behind the scenes because He loves you. Thank You Lord.
