Dad's Ramblings -- Resting in God

"And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison."
 
                                                                       Acts 12:6
 
Peter was quite a guy. Here he is the night before judgment, probably on death row (Herod had already killed the Apostle James , vss. 1-2) – and Peter is sleeping! I think if I was in that situation, I would be fretting and stewing all night. But Peter had such confidence that God was in control, that he could rest in God's peace. Whatever happened – in life or in death – he could trust God. What faith! What a man!
 
Today's Thought: There is rest in trusting that God is in control.
 
Have a resting day. Love you.
