Worship

Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!

Acts 16:25-26

It is interesting to note what Paul and Silas did in prison. Rather than suffering in silence, rather than complaining about their plight, they prayed and sang hymns to God. It would have been easy for them to question God. After all, it was God who called them to Macedonia in the first place. Why call them to a place where they would only end up in jail? Instead, they prayed and sang songs of praise and worship before God. "Suddenly," the Bible tells us, there was an earthquake and the prison doors flew open and their chains fell off.
You may be in a prison of some sort today and, as a consequence, you have a choice to make. You can suffer in silence, or complain about your plight, or question God, or you can do what Paul and Silas did---pray to God and sing to Him with praise and worship. Unlocking the doors of your prison may well depend upon the attitude you bring to the situation.
Let you worship arise before LORD Jesus Christ. Make it a habit not only to worship during troubles times but at all times, because that is the will of God.
May your prison doors be shaken and be opened, as you worship the LORD Jesus with songs of praise.
