"But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened." Acts 16:25-26
Paul and Silas never left the prison for they were bound by the word of God. They didn't think of their own selves but realized the consequences for the jailer. Even those in prison with them never left, Paul helped others be strong. What do you do when given the chance of being free from any restraint? Do you walk in faith, trusting the Lord or do you run free of your own accord? Only to be bound up tighter next time. Each day we are free to choose do we think only of ourselves or do we strengthen others by being committed to Christ. Don't fall victim to the devil, when you are weak He is strong. "On the day I cried out, you answered; you strengthened my spirit." Psalms 138:3
Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful that I am bound by Your chains. I sing praise to You for guarding my heart and convicting my spirit throughout life. Many a time the doors were open but I stayed restrained by You and Your Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray for those who are not bound by You, who wander in the wilderness, speak to them and bring them home. I pray for those who deal with mental anguish, may they be strengthened by Your word. Lord, be my strength today and bind my heart to Yours, I ask this of all who reads this thought. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Hope, pray for us.
