Introduction

Paul and Silas are beaten and put in jail after freeing a girl from enslavement to an evil spirit. While in jail, they sing and pray, and a strong earthquake shakes the jail doors open. Paul and Silas do not leave, and the jailer becomes a believer. 

Today’s Scripture: Acts 16:25b (GNT)

Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 16:16-40

Reflect

Why were Paul and Silas put in jail? Why did they refuse to leave when the earthquake struck? How did they bear witness to their faith while in jail? What can you learn from the actions of Paul and Silas?

Pray

Lord God, empower me with your Holy Spirit to bear witness to your truth, and empower those who are unjustly imprisoned and seek to speak out against injustice. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
