As Acts 12 recorded...I drew lessons from verses 6-9.
The surety of men is unsure and to God is baseless. Heroes was sure that he was going to kill Peter definitely after being tried and found guilty for preaching the gospel. After he had humanity bound him with the strongest chains he thought nothing could give away. But there God saw it fit to confirm the gospel... You know, you wonder why you feel you do all it entails to be a Christian but it only drives you to more pain....why don't you hold on?.. He's making ways for you...God is not responsible for putting us in bad situations but He makes good out of it.
Lastly on this verse..it was recorded that even though Peter doubted and thought it was a dream, he still followed. Are you in doubt that there's really light at the end of the tunnel, why not keep following, you'll realize someday that it's really real...
Verses 21-24
Remember what we studied earlier about making God the center of our attraction, Heroes defaulted and was rewarded according... Your wisdom, Knowledge, beauty, and everything that makes you to be you is an endowment from God and should be acknowledged.....always make God the center of commendation and worship.....
