Today I am reminded of Paul and Silas. These men took every opportunity to glorify the Lord! The did not even let being imprisoned stop the praise that came forth from their beings. When they were beaten and locked away in chains, they did not despair. They were not despondent. They lifted up joyful praises to the Lord! And the praises they offered were so sincere and so full of love that they caused heaven to break loose not only their chains, but everyone in that jail's chains! On top of that, the praises of these two men were so impactful, they caused the jailer and his whole household to come to know Jesus! (Acts 16:22-40)
What kind of praises are you lifting up in the midst of your situation? Don't allow circumstances to shut you up! Open up your mouth and glorify your Father in heaven. Your praise could be the key to breaking you out of your chains! Your praise can loose somebody else's chains! Your testimony in the midst of the storm could be the one thing that brings another soul into the kingdom of God!
No matter what you are facing, where you are, or what you are doing - God is still worthy of praise!
Verse of the Day: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. Acts 16:25, 26
