DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 13-14:21; Song of Sol. 3:6-5:1; Luke 10:1-24
And when Herod was about to bring him out, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains and the keepers before the door kept the prison. Acts 12:6
It was maximum security for Peter! These were difficult days for the apostle. His fellow apostle James had been killed, (vs. 2). He was in chains, surrounded by guards and there seemed to be no way of escape. All seemed lost, except for two words, “but prayer” (vs. 5). G. C. Morgan comments, “That force of earnest prayer was mightier than Herod, and mightier than hell.” Does your situation or that of a loved one seem completely impossible? Never forget these words, “but prayer.”—Jim Comte

Then a Father’s love will receive us there. —E. Hewitt
