They did what Your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. — Acts 4:28
Nobody wins a fight against God. Herod and Pilate thought they were coming up with original moves on the cosmic chessboard, but they were playing right into God’s plan.
This verse is part of the believer’s prayer after the apostles were arrested, threatened and then released. They prayed for boldness, reminding themselves that they’re on the winning side.
Sometimes when I’m praying I just get lost — I’m not sure what to pray about or how to pray. That probably never happens to you, but it happens to me. So I look to God and He often seems to say, "What do you know to be true?"
That’s where I pick up the thread. I may have all sorts of needs, but my God is bigger than all my problems. I can’t figure out where to turn, but He knows the end from the beginning. He is my Shepherd. I shall not be in want.
