Asleep

“Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists”. (Acts 12:7 N.I.V)

On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward (with the intention of putting him to death by the sword), Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door.(Acts 12:6). Hardly what constitutes most consider the best conditions for peaceful sleep.

What Peter had was the consolation of the Holy Spirit. Though his physical body was bound, his spirit was free.  Even in the face of death he had a lively hope knowing fully well that nothing men could do would ever bring eternal damage. He had the Lord’s strength and power on his side and his mission was to glorify God, by whichever means he chose.

The indwelling Holy Spirit gives the best sleep out of the joy that knows no understanding!
