In The Meantime
In The Meantime
Have you ever had one of those moments when you thought things were just about to go the right way? One of those moments when you felt like you had just dodged a bullet only to have something totally unrelated go haywire in your life? In Acts 12 we have one of those moments. Luke starts the chapter with the words “In the meantime” which means while all this other stuff was already going on, there’s another thing to add to the story. In this case, although Peter had dodged a bullet in one area of his life, he was about to experience fierce opposition in another that could even cost him his life. Acts 12 is Luke’s way of stopping to let us know that all the power and might of this world is nothing compared to the power and might of God if we would just earnestly seek Him in prayer. This is the story of how prayer can change the course of nations even.
