While he was in jail, the Lord was with Joseph and remained loyal to him.
ACTS 16:25 (CEB)
Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even jail time is redeemable in God's economy.
DAILY FODDER
Can you think of a bad situation from which God didn't immediately spare you but which turned out for the good?
PRAYER
Faithful God, you stick with us through all our troubles. Forgive me for displaying my frustration when you don't immediately rescue me from the difficult situations. Help me to trust you while I'm in "jail." I'm going to be encouraged knowing that you're in the process of turning the negatives of the situation into positives that draw people and honor to Christ. That's redemption. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
