Paul and Silas singing and praying in Prison (Acts 16)

Our discussion continues about Paul, Silas and Timothy's missionary journey.  Our story continues in Acts 16 beginning at verse 16.  Our lesson discusses the slave girl who was possessed by a spirit that allowed her to predict the future.  After following Paul and Silas for a few days, Paul rebukes the spirit and it leaves her.  Her slave owners drag Paul and Silas to the magistrates. Paul and Silas are beaten and place in stocks in prison.  Paul and Silas began singing and praying.  I love their attitude.  In prison, sing your heart out.  This is a wonderful thing we can teach our children.  When your doing the Lord's work things may not go the way you planned but this allowed an entire family to be converted to the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Don't be afraid to step out of yourself and reach out to someone today.  God sees you and knows your heart.  He will take care of you.

Blessings from the Sprout Room,
