Today's readings are Joshua 5.1-6.5 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Josh.+5.1-6.5 ) and Acts 10.1-17 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Acts+10.1-17 ).
Look at the preparations made by God in both Joshua 5 and Acts 10. See how the Lord visits people and makes them aware of his greatness. In the case of the Canaanites the Lord strikes them with terror. In the case of Cornelius the Lord gives him an eagerness to inquire into the Lord's answer to sin. In both cases God's believing people (the Israelites and Peter) receive God's preparation for the task they are to do. The Israelites are shown how to refresh their obedience to God's covenant and law. Peter is shown that God may proclaim that which is unclean to be clean.
How has the Lord worked in bringing His Gospel to you? How is he preparing you to serve him in bringing the Gospel to others? May we be sensitive to his leading and obedient to his calling and plan.
