"Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death."
Acts 12:18-19
Now, we know what happened to the soldiers that guarded Peter. They apparently did not know of his deliverance until the light of morning, and they were killed. Peter's miracle of life brought death to others. This is a puzzle to me. I understand that Herod was no sweetie-pie, but it seems unfair that Peter's blessing caused their death. Life is like that. For example, one person is promoted over someone else at work. One persons's blessing is another person's downer. It may not seem fair and I don't have an answer to this conundrum. One thing I do know -- that Jesus died so that I could live.
Today's Thought: Fair or not, one person's miracle might cause another person harm.
Have a ????? day. Love you.
