A great leader can do great things for his people. Hezekiah returned his people to God.

I always wished God would just tell me what he wanted me to do. Then I realized He was speaking directly to me in my daily Bible reading. The Spirit always highlights just the right part.
Acts 18:9-10
Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”

This Psalm wasn't written last week.
Psalm 83:1-4
Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Before I realized I was not in control of anything, my life was so painful I wanted to die. But,"I fell down trembling..." and asked "...what must I do to be saved?" Amazingly I got the same answer as this jailer.
Acts 16:26-31
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

We do our part. He does his. It isn't much more complicated than that.
2 Chronicles 15:7
But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”

Sometimes the Bible can be very personal. MY first name is Rhoda too. Thank you God. (And Mom and Dad!)
Acts 12:13
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.

Being a believer is not for the faint of heart, but it is about freedom. Let us not give up our freedoms without a fight, "gird yourself."
Acts 12:7-8
Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.
Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”
