| Acts 16:25 - Midnight Hour
“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.”
(Acts 16:25 NIV)
by Chris
Don’t wait.
Lift your voice now, and by faith sing victorious praises to our Father.
Don’t worry about what your situation or circumstance may be. It doesn’t matter if you cannot see past today into a brighter future.
All that matters is that you learn how to lift up the name of the Lord in each and every situation you face in your life.
It’s so easy to say ‘Thank you Lord’ when things are going just right for us. However, it takes a more mature saint; a more mature faith to give thanks in the middle of your trial.
When was the last time you gave public praise to God in the presence of your peers going through the same situation?
Brothers, how we go through our trials is much more important than the amount of scriptures we can recite or the amount of services we attend weekly.
We are the ambassadors of Christ. We set the example of how even the toughest times in lives are not enough to keep the praises of God off our lips.
In the midnight hour, Paul and Silas’ praises eventually broke down the walls of the prison they were thrown in.
Whatever your midnight hour is. Whatever it looks like. Open your mouth and sing praises to our God, and watch the barriers of your trials crumble.
It’s never too late, and God is always right on time.
Lets pray...
“Father you are always faithful. Through the good and the bad you always deserve the praise. Today I decide to rise above my circumstance through prayer and praise. Help me to continually turn to You at the worst and best of times. Amen” |
