God's Presence in Problems
Acts 16:23-31
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them,
they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to
keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them
into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in
the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang
praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 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.
27 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.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do
thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and
came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must
I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Our problems lose their power in God's presence. In difficulty we have an amazing opportunity to experience God's presence and acts. Paul and Silas were facing dark difficulties, but they prayed and rejoiced in the Lord and God sent His angels to open the stocks and the prison doors. They weren't complaining about their situation, but they were praising. When hardships come down on you, give it up to God and see what happens. He is a God of solutions for you. God is in control and when you realize this you can praise Him no matter your situation.
When you're dealing with problems remember to stop and pray and praise our Holy Holy Holy God and experience God's presence and grace in a great way.
Jeremiah 1:19
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they
shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee,
saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
