What Is God's Plan In This?

The jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. He escorted them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved? ” They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household.”  Acts 16:29-31 CSB

You will have heard of the kidnapping and ransom demand for a group of missionaries in Haiti. As a veteran of a branch of the United States Armed Forces known for charging on to enemy-held beaches, I have a suggestion for dealing with this circumstance. However, God's plan in this might be somewhat different, or maybe not. He has not yet told me His plans. One possibility though is that God may have our brothers and sisters in Christ right where He would have them. Paul and Silas did not do what their jailer expected of them when the doors and chains of the prison were  opened by a violent shaking, and from that the man was suddenly ready to listen to the good news of Christ. May our Lord Jesus overthrow the hearts of this gang of kidnappers by His good news! 

Prayer and supplication with thanksgiving today,

Bucky
