Take Action, Day 12

Trusting God. Read Acts chapter 12.

As we read this chapter, we see a man in a dire and desperate situation. Others have already been killed for their belief in Christ and now Peter is imprisoned with the intent of killing him. God works a miracle and saves him. But it always fascinates me the level of trust and faith that Peter had in God at that point.

You see, not even an angel showing up in his midst was enough to wake him up. He was sleeping so soundly that the angel had to grab hold of him and shake him awake. For many people, sleepless nights and worry and anxiety make up a lot of what they go through and experience. It’s so refreshing to realize that when we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we can truly relax, knowing that he’s got the situation completely under control.

If Peter, with the threat upon his life hanging over his head, can sleep soundly enough to not be awakened by an angel, e can relax and trust God to get us through anything we’re going through.
