Devotion:
Read Acts 12:1-17.
King Herod jailed Peter and resolved to behead him on the anniversary of Jesus’ death.
What could the church do about it? They had no political power, no clout, no “ace” to cash in.
Peter obviously wasn’t worried - he was asleep!
But the church was working. They were praying. They knew something that I think we forget: when the problem is bigger than we are - we pray! Our prayers move the heart of God.
Peter is released by an angel from God. Those praying for him are reluctant to believe he had been released. Before you are too hard on those early believers - how often do we pray without the anticipation of the answer?
Personal Worship Option:
God answered prayer and set Peter free. How has God answered your prayers? Write down your requests so you can thank him for all the answers. Thank God today that prayer is an open channel to his heart.
