No lies, someone you know, or maybe you yourself may be facing a real life crisis. I'm talking the big stuff; financial trouble, sickness, addiction, broken relationship, employment failure, house maintenance disasters.... The list goes on. A major life altering problem that will change the trajectory of your life path.
Paul and Silas were no strangers to turmoil. Paul himself told of his toils. Shipwreck, beatings, imprisonment, hunger and cold. Once again these two ministers of the gospel found themselves in prison.
Caste away any images you may have of prison life today, there are no words that can describe the horror they were going through. Cold wet, filthy, unhygenic conditions that would have destroyed a weaker soul. Somehow though these two brothers in Christ found the courage to dig down deep and start praising God in the midst of their trouble.
Then the unimaginable happened! Their chains broke loose and they were free. In the midst of turmoil is when we need to offer up to God the sacrifice of praise. This praise has the power to snap the shakkels that bind you and set in motion the power of God working in your life!
If you are not doing so yet, raise your voice and worship God!
