Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”
Observation:
Peter is in prison. I am sure he is thinking that in the morning he will be put to death. But God had other plans. God sent His Angel to free Peter from prison so he could continue to do the Lord's work.
Application:
Just like with Peter, God sends His Angels to watch over me. God has a job that He wants me to complete. He will see to it that nothing prevents His work from being accomplished. I wonder how many times the Angels have spared my life so that I could do the work the Lord wants me to do? That is a question I am going to have to ask when I get to Heaven.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for sending Your Angels to guard and protect me. Help me to continue to do the work you have for me. In Jesus Name Amen.
