Acts 5:19
“But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,”
The persecution continues for the apostles, and they are put in Jail. They are doing exactly what God told them to do, and are faithfully serving Him, and at the same time having strong opposition to cause of Christ. They do not even have to spend one full night in jail, because an angel comes and sets them free. We see Luke contrasting
The work of men
Versus
The work of God
These wicked men throw them in jail, put a guard outside the gates, and we see it is no match for God to set them free and release them from bondage. God holds the key to whatever prison may be giving us problems. He is bigger and has the power to set us free, completely free! Father God, thank You for being the One who sets us free from the bondage of sin, death and destruction. Continue to work in my heart to see Your handiwork and join You in all Your doing in and through my life to release those that are captive to this bondage, and set others free, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
