Now I Know!

Scripture – Acts 12:10-11: ¹⁰They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. ¹¹Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”

Reflection: – Peter kept learning. Or more accurately, he kept being reminded that the Lord can do anything. However it all looked, the angel led Peter out of the jail. Then, it was like Peter woke up and realized he really was not dreaming.

There are times I still doubt that God can do anything He chooses. I’ll find myself facing a situation and I don’t see how the Lord can possibly work it out. When He does, even though it might not be to my satisfaction, I step back like Peter and say, “Now I know.”

I don’t know why I fall into those doubting times. Christ has done so many miraculous things in my life, I don’t know how I can forget. At the same time, I must admit I’m getting better. I often step back these days and wonder, “How is the Lord going to work this out?” It’s not a question of doubt, but one of expectation. For in my good days, I know He will come through.

What causes you to doubt? What are some reminders God has sent your way?
