Today’s Scripture

At that time there was a Roman military officer, Cornelius, who was in charge of one hundred men stationed in Caesarea. He was the captain of the Italian regiment, a devout man of extraordinary character who worshiped God and prayed regularly, together with all his family. He also had a heart for the poor and gave generously to help them. One afternoon about three o’clock, he had an open vision and saw the angel of God appear right in front of him, calling out his name, “Cornelius!” Startled, he was overcome with fear by the sight of the angel. He asked, “What do you want, Lord?” The angel said, “All of your prayers and your generosity to the poor have ascended before God as an eternal offering. Now, send some men to Joppa at once. Have them find a man named Simon the Rock, who is staying as a guest in the home of Simon the Tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

Acts 10:1-6

Today’s Thought

Generosity will attract God’s attention… It was the key ingredient that supercharged his prayers unto God… Remember, your giving is making a difference in every area of your life…

Today’s Confession

Father, thank you for the example of Cornelius and the power of generosity in attracting Your attention. I pray that my heart aligns with his, filled with devotion and a spirit of giving. Thank you for new opportunities and instructions to give in my life.
