By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! |
| TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone's chains came loose" (Acts 16:25-26, NIV.)
TODAY'S WORD , Paul and Silas were put in jail for spreading the good news. It wasn't fair. They were beaten with rods without a trial. It was unjust. As they sat in the prison, bloody, bruised and uncomfortable, they began to sing praises to God. As they were singing praises to God, all of the sudden, there was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, the chains fell off, and they walked out as free men. What happened? They praised their way to victory! , if you're going to live in victory, you have to know how to praise in your midnight hour-when things seem the darkest, when you're in pain, disappointed, lonely or experiencing a loss. When you praise Him no matter what, that's when God can enter your situation. That's when He can break your chains and set you free! Remember, a sacrifice of praise is when it costs you something, when you don't necessarily feel like doing it. Praise Him, not because of how you feel, but because He is worthy! Praise Him in your midnight hour and get ready to embrace the freedom He has planned for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY | Father God, right now I lift my heart to You. I declare that You are worthy to be praised, and Your worth doesn't change because of my circumstances. I will bless You today and every day. I will bless You in the midnight hour knowing that You are good, and You have victory and freedom in store for me in Jesus' name. Amen. |
