Shackled Singing
ACTS 16:25-26
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises un to God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the jail where shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's hands were loosed. . .
Today's verse speaks about something we all struggle with - that is praising God when the chips are down- praising God when we don't feel like and at times not having even the energy to praise Him - we must praise Him - Jesus said the rocks would cry out if we did not praise Him - over this past weekend I got to go out and just pray - nothing special - but I was all alone and it was so peaceful - I met with God and it was a blessing - There are and will be times we won't want to praise God but its something we must do - not to gain any brownie points or anything - but to honor our Lord! Paul and Silas were in a bad place -things seem to be going totally wrong - it seemed like all hope was gone - but then all at once there problems left and God showed up! They prayed at the most inopportune time -- they should have done other things first many would say - but the truth is we must pray as our first defense - Paul and Silas not only praised the LORD but they sang too - and they sang loudly and proudly in a good way - they wanted the world to know they are just like you and me! They sang while in shakles-that is what I called some Shackled Singing -that is the secret Paul learned -being content no matter where you are or your circumstances- singing when it does not make scene and the world stands by and wonders what makes us tick - lets have our own Shackled Singing - lets go out and praise the LORD with all we have - let's not allow the chains of life to weight us down - lets sing with the shackles! Amen~!
A SIDE NOTE:
Life can be tough -but God is good - What HE can do is much better then what any one else can! Don't let the chains weight you down!!!!
in CHRIST our chains are loosed!
