Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Acts 11-13.
A lot happened in today's reading, but I want to share just one part. I encourage you to read the whole thing for yourselves, so you don't miss anything.
King Herod had James, the brother of John, killed with a sword. After that, he also arrested Peter and put him in prison. There were two guards in his cell and two guarding the door, and Peter was in chains.
Acts 12:7-11 - And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a slight shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands. And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me." And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."
Amazing, isn't it? Herod expected to deliver Peter to the Jewish people, to kill him. But God had other plans.
When God has a plan for our lives, no one can stop it.
He saved Daniel from the mouths of lions. He saved David from Saul, and helped him kill a giant. He saved Peter from prison.
And He has great plans for your life.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Acts 14-15.
