Some years ago a former American astronaut took over as head of a major airline, determined to make the airline's service the best in the industry. One day, as the new president walked through a particular department, he saw an employee resting his feet on a desk while the telephone on the desk rang incessantly.
"Aren't you going to answer that phone?" the boss demanded.
"This isn't my department," answered the employee nonchalantly, apparently not recognizing his new boss. " I work in maintenance."
"Not anymore you don't!" snapped the president
Acts 12:8
Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him.
When the angel of the Lord took the chains off and told apostle Peter to wear his shoes, Peter was surely surprised. But for sure he knew it was the work of the Lord and he was quick to respond to the situation. Actually if God could break the chains and open the prison doors, God could easily get Peter dressed up as well. But God doesn’t waste any miracles. He lets us do what we should do in our walk with HIM.
Several times in our walk with the Lord we have had moments when we hold ourselves back to let somebody else do the things for which we are empowered by God. Those are times when we distract ourselves from the purpose of God. As HE continues to work, HE helps us work. Let’s be working.
