I Stand Amazed! #79

Acts 12:12-16
12 And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 And when she recognized Peter's voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 And they said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. And they kept saying, "It is his angel."
16 But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. (NAS)

Ever have an answer to prayer and then discover you were totally amazed that it was answered? Strange how you said you had faith and then when the answer to your prayer came you were amazed at the outcome. The early church was in the same situation. They prayed for the release of Peter from jail and yet when he appeared at the home where they were meeting they determined it must be his angel.

On the surface that seems like a major lack of faith. Amazement to answered prayer is more than likely your response also. Maybe because of lack of faith you are amazed. More than likely it is the realization you are in the presence of a God who answers prayer. Amazement is your only true response. Stand amazed at His answer to prayer and in His presence.

I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ.
May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
