#soap # Acts 10 ## Title: Add God to Your Schedule ## Scripture: (Acts 10:1-3) Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort. He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly. About three o’clock one afternoon he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, “Cornelius.” (NET) ## Observation: Though Cornelius was a Roman officer, he followed the Jewish customs. This meant he was to pray three times a day. One of the times was 3pm or the 9th hour of the day. It was during his scheduled time of worship that the Lord spoke to him and changed his life. I have had many times when people told me they needed to hear from God. However, they expected God to interrupt their schedule and speak to them. God can do this. However, most of the time God will speak to you when He is part of your life, not an interruption. You might be surprised how often you can have an encounter with God when you add Him to your daily schedule. ## Application: Make an appointment with God every day and don’t miss it. If you do, don’t miss two. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for wanting to meet with us every day.
