Wounds bleeding, bodies throbbing, chains anchoring their ankles like anvils. Just about midnight and 2 praying men begin to sing. Maybe quietly at first, pain loudly groaning, then each hearing the other, lungs filled with air & a filthy jail with hymns to the only one worthy.
The earth begins to quake, the foundations start to shake & the chains on prisoners break. There is praise that sets a person free. Oh make no mistake, there is. In the case of Paul & Silas, it was a praise that set them free, not to leave, but to stay, that souls would be saved.
In Acts 12, Peter was freed by God to leave. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were freed by God to stay. You may not be where you want to be. You may yearn to leave desperately. Whether or not God soon opens that door, O Soul, you can still be free. Praise Him with all your strength.
Lift your voice & sing to the one gloriously worthy King. And the chains of bitterness will break from your wrists. Keep worshipping & soon God will loose your feet to dance. And the jeers of the devil who came for your faith will be drowned & the lost will hear & some be found.
Nothing on earth will put us at greater risk of divine wonders than worship.
