Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.
What does this passage show me about God?
- What is God doing with Cornelius and with Peter at the same time?
What does it show me about people — and about myself?
- Who have you quietly written off as too far from God to be ready?
What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)
- What line — culture, class, or comfort — will you cross this week, trusting that God has gone ahead of you?
Who will I tell?
- Whose house, like Cornelius', might already be gathered and waiting — and how will you find out?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
Lord, you were speaking to Cornelius before Peter ever arrived. Thank you that you prepare hearts before you send me; help me go without calling anyone unclean.
