In today's reading, Moses continues to hammer on the people not to think that they have been favored by God because they are such good people. Moses gives his first hand account of being in God's presence for 40 days and 40 nights on two occasions, one right after the other. He also again models in his prayer for Israel the way to effectively pray for people— which is to base our prayers on God's character and his promises.
Psalm 54 is a short cry for help, when David was under severe stress and being attacked.
Today we hear of the wonderful way the Lord called Peter to go to Cornelius' house. In preparation, God gave Peter a vision (repeated three times to leave no doubt whatsoever) to the effect that God was now opening the door to the Gentiles to be cleansed and included as God's people.
