The Go to Jail Card

So I'm playing the real life Monopoly game and I just got the go to jail card!

Have you ever felt that you were doing the right thing and walking the walk that God has called you to and then WHAM you're thrown in jail?

That has been my week. Thankfully we are not alone.

This is what I read today.

Ok intro - Picture the apostles doing crazy cool miracles.

Acts 5: "17Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. 20"Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new life."

When it felt the most hopeless and dark the angel came, let them out and then gave the instruction to go.

Where are you at? Are you like the apostles having success before the jail card is dealt? Are you sitting in jail, in the dark waiting? Are you in the interm, the gates open, right before the instruction? Or have you been given the instruction and are debating if it's worth it to obey?

Be encouraged. The apostles went through these emotions, Joseph went through these, Daniel went through these, Paul went through these. We are not alone. We are in with the greats!

I can relate to so many of these at the moment. Think about where you're at and if you want, share.

Blessings,

Alanne.
