In today's readings we see that the true God is truly mighty. He is not a lucky charm to be paraded out into battle in order to help people accomplish their own purposes. He is present with his people by faith, not by their deeds. He is present with Paul and Silas in prison, though they cannot see him in any way. He is so present to care for his people that they cannot be held by prisons. He is so present to care for the people he has chosen that he provides messengers to speak his word and even contains the people who are rightly imprisoned when he breaks his apostles out of prison.
When we see circumstances that seem daunting, let us simply walk by faith and trust that the Lord is present with us, accomplishing his purposes.
