The chapter today tells of more miracles. God showed His power over the laws of physics and His ability to provide protection in seemingly hopeless circumstances. The chapter ends with deep hopelessness that won’t be resolved until our next reading.
One wonders how often we are protected and don’t even know it. The accident we avoided by being a little late. The temptation that never happened because we weren’t in the wrong place at the wrong time. When our enemy was thwarted by a circumstance we didn’t cause. Our eyes need to be opened too.
