Scripture
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 KJV
Devotion
While Paul and Silas were on a missionary journey, Paul had a dream of a man from Macedonia begging him to “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” (Acts 16:9). Subsequent to their arrival there, the owners of a female slave had them thrown into prison for casting out an evil spirit that enabled her to predict the future, thus bringing an end to a lucrative enterprise.
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.
It seems obvious that God responded to Paul and Silas because of their worshipful attitude. This is not to say that any negative situation can be immediately resolved simply by prayer and songs of praise and worship. These things are not magic methods to control God. Nevertheless, the story of Paul and Silas gives us an example of the attitude we should take in such circumstances and the response from God it can elicit.
With prayer, praise and worship, there may be a “suddenly” in your future as well.

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.Do you feel frustrated both by the high cost of Audio Bibles and the copyright laws?
