Devotion:
Read Acts 12:1-17.
This is one of the many stories this writer shared about what happened to the disciples of Jesus in the early years of the Church. There was a hostile political and religious environment toward the followers of Jesus but this seemed to ignite the hearts of the faithful as God’s Spirit moved in powerful and varied ways. Peter’s release from prison was miraculous, to say the least!! The power of prayer was on display for all to see. I’m sure the story of Peter’s release was told multiple times to many people. It was a great example of the power of prayer. Not all prayers are answered in the manner that we are expecting but it doesn’t negate the working of God in the situation. That same power and Spirit are moving in our midst today. It is up to us to open our hearts and minds in expectation as we pray.
Personal Worship Option:
What are you talking to God about today? Do you pray with anticipation of the answer?
