Worship at Midnight

Who could sleep after being beaten and put in stocks in a prison? Paul and Silas were only doing what they were supposed to do, and it got them beaten and put in prison. But when they chose to praise God anyway, God changed everything.

Acts 16:23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24 Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose.
