What a difference it makes when you know and believe that God is in control.
Peter was sleeping soundly in prison, and he had to be hit to wake up.
Acts 12:6-7 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him , and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
When total faith is placed in Almighty God even a prison of trouble can become a home with peace and safety.
Isn’t it a delight when God comes through and delivers us from the trials of life? That’s His business. He always delivers and He will get the glory.
