SINGING IN THE PRISON
God shaking the stone walls to set His servants free
[Notice: Insert custom graphic image here]
Deep in the dark cell, the guards bound Paul and Silas in iron chains, thinking they could shut them up for good. The rulers assumed their thick walls had locked everything down, completely blind to the fact that human locks cannot stop the power of God. At midnight, even with bleeding backs, the prisoners chose to sing praises out loud. God did not argue with the rulers. He simply met their songs with a great earthquake that broke every lock and chain in the building. The walls shook and the doors flew open, because the Lord of hosts can open the doors to the darkest room and give His people freedom.
“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
