I’m urging those who access my “Coffee with the Lord” posts to read Acts 12:1-19 in their Bible today… that’s right, read it!
Some have used the passage to subtly scold “the church” for their lack of faith (they did not REALLY believe their prayers would be answered – and were surprised when they were)…
I think, however, that is a mistake and an unfortunate conclusion (surprised perhaps, but after all they were praying!)…
This is what I jotted in the margin of my Bible today… The situation you (and others) are facing may seem frightening, even impossible… BUT PRAY! GET OTHERS TO JOIN YOU IN PRAYER! LEAVE THE RESULTS IN THE HANDS OF GOD! – HE IS ABLE TO DO WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE! HE IS GOD!
Please don’t turn this wonderful story of God’s deliverance into a negative indictment! (Philippians 4:6-7)
