“And the angel said to him, 'Gird yourself and put on your sandals.' And he did so. And he said to him, 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.'” Acts 12:8

And he did so. Peter followed the angel's instruction without hesitating or questioning. He didn't ask where he was going, why he needed to put on his sandals, or how they were going to her past the guards. He just did it. If Peter would have stayed where he was, he would have remained in prison. I don't want to miss what God has for me and remain asleep in chains. Therefore, I need to obey without hesitation and follow in faith. For where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom.

Romans 6:16-18

“Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? But thanks be to God, that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”
