ACTS 12:5-7 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.
We have a God who can make a way out of no way. We do not journey alone.
In this story from Acts the angel sprung Peter from prison. They passed the first guard, then a second, and finally came to an iron gate before Peter realized he was free.
In our journey, there are always obstacles. God allows these obstacles in our life in order perhaps to test us, to see if we will follow Peter’s example and move past the one guard, then the second, and then the apparently locked gate (which GOD opens for us).
Life is not easy, but if we only trust Him, God’s grace conquers any challenge. We are never alone.
Everyone have a blessed day and may the grace of the Lord be with you.
