No Favoritism

Scripture:

Acts 10:34 "Then Peter replied, 'I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism'".

Observation:

Peter had a vision of a blanket coming down from heaven full of every kind of animal and was told to take it an deat.  Peter didn't want to because it was considered unclean meat.  Finally God told him not to call unclean what God had cleaned.  Next he ended up at a Gentile's house and the Holy Spirit was poured out on them like the original outpouring.  All Peter could think was, "God shows no favorites".

Application:

God doesn't show favorites.  He doesn't love one more than another.  He doesn't choose one culture over another.  He pours out His Spirit on Jews and Gentiles.  He loves all unconditionally and treats us all the same.  We should be more like Him and stop showing favoritism.  We should try to become like our heavenly father in this area.  Favoritism helps doesn't help anyone and we should try to avoid it in our lives.

Prayer:

Father, help me be more like You today.  Help me to avoid favoritism in my life.  help me to see all people as You see them.  You are amazing!
