A Devotional for such a time as this: - from: Streams in the Desert _____________ The angel of the Lord came upon him (Peter) and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off. (Acts 12:7.) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God.... And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every ones bands were loosed. (Acts 16:25, 26.) THIS is Gods way. In the darkest hours of the night, His tread draws near across the billows. As the day of execution is breaking, the angel comes to Peters cell. When the scaffold for Mordecai is complete, the royal sleeplessness leads to a reaction in favor of the favored race. Ah, soul, it may have to come to the worst with thee ere thou art delivered; but thou wilt be delivered! God may keep thee waiting, but he will ever be mindful of His covenant, and will appear to fulfill His inviolable Word. —F. B. Meyer. Theres a simplicity about God in working out His plans, yet a resourcefulness equal to any difficulty, and an unswerving faithfulness to His trusting child, and an unforgetting steadiness in holding to His purpose. Through a fellow-prisoner, then a dream, He lifts Joseph from a prison to a premiership. And the length of stay in the prison prevents dizziness in the premier. Its safe to trust Gods methods and to go by His clock. —S. D. Gordon. Providence hath a thousand keys to open a thousand sundry doors for the deliverance of His own, when it is even come to a desperate case. Let us be faithful; and care for our own part which is to suffer for Him, and lay Christs part on Himself, and leave it there. —George MacDonald. Difficulty is the very atmosphere of miracle—it is miracle in its first stage. If it is to be a great miracle, the condition is not difficulty but impossibility. The clinging hand of His child makes a desperate situation a delight to Him. - via QuickVerse 10 #devotionalforsuchatimeasthis #christjesus #vineofchristministries #theword #studyscripture #god #biblestudy #bible #jesus #faith #dailydevotions #devotional #holyspirit
