Acts 10.1-33-About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"
Joshua 7-8-Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD...
Job 24-Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, and why do those who know Him not see His days?
Acts 26.1-18-Why is it considered incredible among you people if God does raise the dead?

I'm about New Life and Change. Death to Life and Resurrection.
---
Jesus has brought about Change in this world. The early Christians seemed to be about vision and connection. Opposites connecting. Gentiles and Jews. Customs blending. Jesus giving New Life to the unexpected people of this world. New Life and Change. Death to Life and Resurrection. The book of Acts seems to jump all over the place. Different people connecting in different ways; all being guided by Jesus changing and life giving message. But then again; God brought change to the Israelites too. Change in the victories of the Promised Land. When we trust in God, He leads us to victory. When we turn from Him we see our sin. In the Change of Victory and God's awesome work we build altars in honor, worship and praise to God. Change. Job saw change. Job struggled with the tough questions of life. Why did such bad things happen to him? Where was God now? What is God's time? Questions too difficult for us to ponder but simple for God. Change with God present in the good times and in the bad times. Makes believing in Resurrection not so difficult after all. God is behind it. Only through Jesus can we see our lives Change. Only through Jesus can we experience the resurrection.

Lord, I'm in Your presence, ready for the changes You wish to make with me. Change me. Resurrect me. Give me Life in You, I pray. ---Amen
