Just a thought and reminder for this day


What is on my mind? As I sat this morning reading the daily bread and the Word, I was reminded again that the impossible is POSSIBLE to those who believe. Acts 12: 1-14 tells of the story of Peter being captured and put in prison for execution by King Herod. BUT God, had other plans... it was the Feast of Unleavened Bread, therefore the execution would have to wait for the passover. The night before the church had been praying for Peters release. As they prayed an Angel of the Lord woke Peter and told him to get dressed. At this time Peter was sleeping between 2 soldiers, bound in chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. The Angel told Peter to follow him, so he did, right out of the jail!!!! Even Peter wondered if this was a dream, but it was not! The church prayed and he was free!!!
This made me think.... why do I NOT believe He can? I guess it is because my faith is not that big. SO as I sat this morning and prayed the Lord reminded me that HE is in control of EVERYTHING, and where we are HE is there. NOTHING is unseen by the maker of the universe. Such a reminder and comfort for my heart. I pray that this encourages anyone who may need to be reminded that IF you know HIM, He loves you and knows all things. IF you do not know HIM, He knows you and loves you and wants you to have a relationship with HIM so that you too will have HIS spirit and will know the peace that He gives in the difficulties of this life.
Be encouraged, the Lord is the same today yesterday and tomorrow! He never changes. Have a blessed day!
