Event: Paul and Silas in Prison
S - Scripture
Acts 16 v. 23-24 And when they had inflected many blows on them (Paul and Silas), they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. Having received their charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
O – Observation
Having a bad day. This would rank right up there. First beaten, then put in the inner jail (A.K.A. the dungeon) with shackles. More than likely, the inner dungeon was very very dark, no electricity back then. We all have had bad days. We may wonder where God is in all of this, what’s the point of being a Christian? Recognize this, Jesus said you will have bad days, John 16 v. 33b,"In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer I have overcome the world. " There's actually a method to God's approach. Psalm 50 v. 15, "And call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver you and you shall glorify me. " Bad days are days that we need Jesus. Jesus will be there for you.
