Failing To Receive God's Answer

Acts 12:11-15

Then Peter came to himself and said, 'Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.' When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. When she recognised Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, 'Peter is at the door!' 'You're out of your mind,' they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, 'It must be his angel.' (NIVUK)

God had miraculously released Peter from prison (Acts 12:6-10). It all happened so quickly that he had little time to take it all in. But by the time the apostle was walking through the silent dark streets of Jerusalem, he realised what the Lord had done for him. The Lord's intervention was not just a personal relief; it was a manifestation of His power in frustrating the murderous ambitions of King Herod and the religious leaders. Then he went to Mary's house where the church people were meeting.
