Daily Devo | Separated by Prejudice & Preference (New Testament in a Year, Acts 10:1-24)

The next step in God's plan involves bringing together two very different men: a Roman centurion named Cornelius and a Jewish apostle named Peter. Both receive visions from God that push them to cross many miles and the even more significant barriers of culture, ethnicity, status, and political divides. After all, the Jewish people were living under Roman occupation. The Holy Spirit leads and both men obey, leading to one of the most significant and powerful encounters in the entire story of the book of Acts.Looking for a previous devo?

What barriers did God need to work on in Peter?- People can be separated by location, culture, gender, politics, social and economic status, even just different tastes or preferences. What barriers tend to impede your spiritual connections with others?- Prayer: Lord, help me recognize and follow your leading, setting aside any prejudices or preferences that stand in the way.
