“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” Acts‬ ‭16:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Most of the time when we read this passage we think of the miracle of the earthquake God sent and how the prisoners were loosed from their prison cells. But think about what a miracle these two men are. Beaten and bruised, unjustly and cruelly treated, thrown into the damp, dark prison and chained, they had every reason humanly to hang their heads in discouragement. But instead we find them at the very darkest time, praying and singing praises to God! That is a miracle that only God can work in the hearts of men! And thank God He still does! All throughout church history, we find these courageous examples. Men and women of great faith in God, who would not give in to self pity. They had such a love for Christ that they counted it a privilege to suffer for His sake. May God help us today in this world of suffering and woe. With His Spirit in us, we can rise above the darkness and give praise to our God.
