We will then read about God saving Peter from jail by sending an angel to the jail to free Peter.In our discussion for daily application we will talk about God's perfect timing, the importance of praying for God's Will rather than our own and obedience to God's will. We will talk about how Peter obeyed both when God told him to go to Cornelius' house as well as when the angel gave Peter directions after waking him from a sound sleep. Waiting for God's deliverance can be hard, but as we see today and in other examples from the Bible, God often delivers at "the eleventh hour" so that we know that it is HIM who has delivered us, not anyone else. We need to keep believing in God to know His divine plan for us and the timing for everything, even though we may not understand it or be able to see it. We need to keep trusting in God's goodness even when it can look like He did not answer our prayers, as in the case of James being killed by Herod but saving Peter. Eventually everyone transitions from the physical body to eternal life in our spiritual body and no one knows the day or time but God. But we can remember that we have seen over and over again that God's timing is always perfect and He always has plans working to further His kingdom, even if we cannot see those plans in the present. Once again I will remind us of Ruth and Boaz marrying, which would not have been possible if Naomi had not lost both her sons, one of which was Ruth's husband, as well as her own husband, causing her to return to Israel without any male heir. God ALWAYS has good plans going on. We just need to have faith and trust in Him. If you enjoyed today's reading and feel like God has lit YOUR light please click the LIGHT button (it looks like a thumbs up or a heart) and consider subscribing to or following my channel, if you have not done so already.If you know someone who might be interested in reading the Bi! ble with me this year please SHARE today's reading with them!
