Day 14

Acts 16
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26and 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 bonds were unfastened.

What are you normally doing at midnight? Paul and Silas beaten and bruised thrown into the belly of a prison are praying and singing. What's your first response when you are cast into the depths? Anger, questions of "Why me", or finger pointing. Singing today for what we desire tomorrow is a vital key in living a faith filled life. If we wait to see it before we can pray and sing then our faith is circumstantial but if we can nurture a song of praise daily and prayer in our hearts then regardless of whether we are in the prison or the palace we can overcome.
