Acts 12: 8. Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him.
Peter is in jail under heavy guard. Herod has gone off the deep end with power. He has had James killed, but the Jews didn't protest. Then he arrested Peter. Peter thinks he is having a vision. It isn't until he has passed through the city gates, which opened by themselves, that he realizes he is truly free.
I like Peter's attitude. No argument, no protest. He just followed the Angel. Once the angel is gone, he alerts his friends and moves on. How marvelous to be such a good servant of the Lord! I know I wouldn't do the same. I would be a mass of doubt and worry.
Prayer: Lord, strengthen MY faith. Make me able to see the Holy Spirit when it guides me to do Your will. Help me to transcend doubt. Make me a faithful follower.
Amen
