Question of the Day: When have you helped someone?
Read about It
Read: Acts 10:1–8
Cornelius was following God. The Bible says that he was a “devout, God-fearing” person and so was everyone in his household.
One day Cornelius saw an angel who gave him a message from God. Can you imagine being Cornelius that day? The angel told Cornelius to send men to Joppa to find a man named Simon Peter.
Cornelius listened to God’s messenger and followed the instructions. There are many times in our own life when God will speak to us. When God speaks, we must listen and obey.
