What is God a Respecter of?

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. - Acts 10:34

In Sunday School a few days ago, the teacher wrote part of this verse on the board. Peter was right (of course) that God is not a respecter of persons. But sometimes it doesn't really seem that way, does it? And then I thought, "He may not be a respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of actions." God will make sure that  consequences of our actions are received, whether they be good or bad. Fortunately, He sent His Son so that we can be forgiven and avoid the worst of the consequences, but that's another topic altogether. And of course, we can't judge why God delivers consequences when He does, but sometimes it seems like He isn't even a respecter of actions. But it's just because we don't always understand His timing.

Anyways, these were just a few random thoughts from Sunday School.
