Paul and Silas were in prison in Philippi singing praises to the Lord at midnight when God sent an earthquake to break them out of prison.
Paul and Silas in jail – Acts 16:25 “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose.”
Not only was it a miracle of deliverance from prison but it was a miracle of the jailer and his family getting saved. God often uses our times of darkness not only for a miracle for us but a miracle for others as well. I believe the key to Paul and Silas’ miracle was linked to their ability to pray and sing in the midst of their darkness.
Activity:
Sing a song of praise and thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness to you in spite of the darkness you may be going through. Bad things often happen in the dark. But Jesus promised, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
In these days of uncertainty we serve a God who invades the darkness with the light of His glory and the power of His presence and love. May His light shine upon you today and give you peace.
