Acts 10:9

About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

When was the last time I spent time with God at noon?  Too often, I fall into the trap (and it is most definitely a trap) of leaving God at my morning devotion.  Starting my day with a morning devotion is great, but it is only great to the extent that it can leave an imprint of God on my heart and mind for the rest of the day. 

 
Back to Acts.  God used Peter in a big way through this lunch meeting.  Largely because of Peter’s prayer time and the proceeding events, God proved to Peter and others that the Gentiles, too, were truly a part of the Christ’s church.  Non-Jews were now recognized as true members of the body of Christ.  And that’s great news, because I’m not a Jew.

 
I can’t think of a better way to get re-charged at lunch than sitting down on a rooftop with God for prayer and a PB&J, offering up the rest of my day to God…again.

 
LORD, may I be with you all day long; morning, noontime, and evening.  Thank you so much for your love.  AMEN
