Prison songs
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The reason Paul and Silas sang praises at midnight in a prison cell is because they also sang praises at noontime in open spaces.
You’ll never do in the worst circumstances what you haven’t already done in the best.
We tend to wait until things get really bad before attempting to do something good enough to counteract the bad, but not Paul.
[Tweet “We tend to wait until things get really bad before attempting to do something good enough to counteract it.”]He had already established the pattern of praise, and that’s what enabled him to keep singing praises even when the place where he praised had changed.
Circumstances change. Life turns on a dime. We can go from palace to prison and back again all within one news cycle.
Never stop praising because our praise invites His presence into the situation, and anywhere He goes, breakthrough follows.
