Amazed

[Rhoda] ran back inside and told everyone, "Peter is standing at the door!" "You're out of your mind!" they said. When she insisted, they decided, "It must be his angel." Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed. (Acts 12:14b-16 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• How often do we pray obediently, but with little faith and even less hope that anything will change? Then, God shows up! Amazing!

Pray today:

• For the people of God to be faithful in their praying as well as full of faith, and to keep on praying for Emmanuel College, and if the door fails to open, to keep on knocking until it does or until he shows us a different door.
• For God to take us by surprise, to show up when we expect him to and even when we don't.
• For there to always be among us those who insist that the miracle is here, close at hand, standing at the door, for encouragement to the faint of heart, for amazement to lift our spirits because the miracle is ours.

Pray First! Pray Through!
