In our previous meditation, we saw how Peter was delivered from prison and death through the ministry of the angel. To appreciate this deliverance, let us go over the huddles. Firstly, a chain tied him to two Roman soldiers. Two, there was the immediate door leading to where Peter was kept. Add to that, the main door to the prison house and the obstacle will seem daunting enough. The verse before us for immediate consideration pinpoints three other obstacles. You have the first and the second guard posts before coming to the iron gate that led to the city. The angel of God beat all these security arrangements and set Peter free. We cannot say it enough, if God is set to work, no force in heaven, earth or hell can stop Him.
You may not fully understand what God is doing in your case right now, but keep following. The puzzle will be resolved before long.
All that Peter needed to do was to follow the lead. When light shone in the prison, the angel asked him to get up. He did. Next, he was asked to put on his garment and tie his sandals. He obeyed. Then he followed the angel, even when he did not fully understand what was going on. You may not fully understand what God is doing in your case right now, but keep following. The puzzle will be resolved before long. I have learned that most actions of God are only understood in retrospect. Never be in a hurry to jettison God’s lead.
