Checking into God's Presence... "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. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house." Acts 16: 26-34 Are you a Child of God? Then do Thyself no harm: you are God's, and God is yours. Stop brooding over the bad things of this world: they will surely pass away, and the good times will come again. As Christians, we must go through some dark moments in our lives: it is only the strength of Christ in us that can see us through. Paul and Silas went through a narrowing experience for the sake of the Lord they serve. Being Romans, they were accused wrongfully of teaching unlawful customs; they were arrested and arraigned before the magistrate and sent to prison, but the Lord was with them. For their sake: "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." God proved Himself to be the hope for the hopeless. A helper who can lead us away from the shadows of the night and the dangers of the day. When life offered a bitter taste for Paul and Silas, God chose to become the light of their salvation based on the level of their faith in Him. The guards and the doors to their prison, including the chains in their hands, could not make them captive. Therefore let the Lord become the eyes through which we see from now. May God allow His purpose and will to ripe fast upon us while we enjoy His protection with every unfolding hour in our lives. Let us be able to rest in the power of Your Might oh God in Jesus name.
