God Will Prevail

Acts 4:24--25 "

And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one 

accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, 

and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the 

mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the 

heathen rage, and the people 

imagine vain things?"

   Here we have the reaction of the Christian Church in the hour of danger. It might have been thought that when Peter and John returned with their story a deep depression would have fallen on the Church, as they looked ahead to the troubles which were now bound to descend upon them. The one thing that never even struck them was to obey the Sanhedrin's command to speak no more. Into their minds at that moment came certain great convictions and into their lives came a tide of strength. 

  They had the conviction of the power of God. With them was He who was creator and sustainer of all things. Once the papal envoy threatened Martin Luther with what would follow if he persisted in his course and warned him that in the end he would be deserted by all his supporters. "Where will you be then?" demanded the envoy. "Then as now," Luther answered, "in the hands of God." For the Christian, they that are for us are always more than they that are against us. 

  My Friends, Our country is filled with rage and man is heading to a Civil War. They may trample and toss their heads; in the end they will have to accept the discipline. Men may make their defiant gestures against God; in the end God Will Prevail. 

Amen!
