Reading: Acts 16 and Geneses 36
Scripture: Acts 16:27, When the jailer woke and saw that the
prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself,
supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Observation: In those days if a prisoner was to escape or be
released early on accident the guard would at minimum be required to finish the
sentence themselves or could be put to death. Fearing the worst this guard was
going to take his own life to save his family the disgrace of having him in
prison or killed.
Application: This guard was blessed in that Paul and the
others were there and kept him alive and shared the gospel with him. Even in
bad situations we are to find Joy and look for ways God will bless us and we
can further his work.
Prayer: Lord Thank you for all your blessing, the time you
took to form us in our mothers womb and the fact you know the number of hears
on each of our heads. Lord, I need you help seeing the good in the bad
situations and the good you have in this day.
