Midnight Prayer Rally

Scripture

Acts 16

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

Observation

What would you be doing at midnight if you had just been beaten and thrown into a jail cell? Paul and Silas were praying and singing and had everyone else in the jail listening to them. They had a captive audience.

This is a fascinating story. Have you ever thought about this story and wondered what it would have been like to be in that jail that night? The prisoners knew that there was something different about these two new prisoners.

When the earthquake happened and the jail doors flew open not one prisoner tried to escape. They knew Who caused the earthquake. I wonder how many of those prisoners became Christ Followers that night along with the jailer and his entire family.

Praising God instead of complaining, singing instead of whining, I think that there is a lesson in this story for all of us.

Application

Paul and Silas experienced the beating and time in jail so others could come to Christ. Am I willing to make sacrifices so others come to Jesus? I will think of ways to reach out to people even if it involves personal sacrifice so they have the chance to know Jesus.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me think of other people more than myself this week. Show me ways that I can minister to people in a way that will help them find You.
