Acts 16:25 (NASB) But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Paul and Silas we’re in prison for doing what God had led them to do. Instead of complaining about their circumstances they began to praise God in their midnight hour. They knew that God was leading them into this trial and that He would lead them out. Difficulties abound in people’s lives like never before. The economy is on a downward spiral. Situations are tense around the world. Families are in disarray. The list could go on and on. Everyone’s midnight hour is different but has the same effect – it brings strain on us. Like Paul and Silas, we can’t choose our life or the circumstances that come our way but we can choose how we respond to what is thrown our way by giving praise to God Almighty. It is only then that we can find the true freedom that we we’re meant to be. God has proven this principle over and over in my life and I know that He can prove it to you also.
