You do not “spend” time with God. You “invest” it. Time alone with Him can be one of the greatest time savers of your life. It is in your time alone with the Lord that you can surrender the burden and the anxiety of the load to Him (Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:7). You can also find the perspective to be delivered from the truly nonessential things that often seem important. You can find new energy and ideas as you “commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established (Proverbs 16:3).

CXXIV. Cornelius.

ACTS x. 34, 35. “Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation
he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with
Him.”

THE incident teaches us :
I. That Christianity can eradicate the most inveterate
habits.
II. That the propagation of Christianity has been de-
veloped by human instrumentality.
III. The true method of expounding Christianity.
Peter’s sermon is full of Christ
IV. The connection between human agency and Divine
power.
1. Human agency is not self-sufficient as to spiritual
results.
2. Apart from the word there must be a distinct Divine
influence.
