Peter followed [the angel] out of prison.
Acts 12:9 NIV
Peter had been thrown into prison for
preaching about Jesus. He was securely guarded and no doubt expected to be
there until he was released or died.
Suddenly, miraculously, an angel appeared and lead him past the guards to
freedom. Peter thought he was probably dreaming or hallucinating – lack of food
and water could make that happen. But it was really happening and soon he was
knocking at the door of the house where the other disciples were praying for
him. They too were incredulous and didn’t initially believe that his escape was
possible. Peter, who had denied Jesus before the crucifixion, was given a
special miracle to attest to God’s care for him.
I have also seen circumstances align in unimaginable
ways to meet some special need of mine. Those times remind me that God knows me
intimately and gives me blessings that reflect his deep understanding of me. It
can be difficult to feel trapped but what a wonderful experience when God opens
the door and leads us past our obstacles.
