Something that happened last night made me think of Peter in prison.

After a long day which involved trips to the ER and babysitters, Virtuous Blonde and I were taking out the trash and getting ready for bed.
Being that it was quite humid out, I went in for a quick shower while
the Mrs. was folding clothes in the living room at the front of the
house. There was a bang, and she came running into the bathroom saying
something happened to the house. I quickly toweled off (somewhat) and
ran to the front, only to find one of our recycling containers on the
porch of our house with its contents in front of the door. As you can
imagine, this frightened the Mrs., and I went around to see if anyone
saw who did it.

It took us a while to feel comfortable last
night, but it got me to thinking about Peter in the prison right before
the angel came to set him free. The account in Acts states that the
angel had to hit Peter to wake him. Peter was so asleep, that just
calling his name wouldn’t work. Obviously he had a learned a great
lesson since the times where Jesus was asleep in a storm and had to be
awakened to calm it. Jesus asked where their faith was. Obvoiusly
Peter had it now.

How is your faith in God’s protection and provision? Can you be at peace in trials?
