After having been stripped, beaten, severely flogged, Paul and Silas were thrown into prison. There they were in an inner cell, their feet fastened in stocks, guarded carefully. The passage says, “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” At their “midnight hour,” their darkest, bloodiest, hardest, time; they prayed and they sang to God! They could have been angry at Him; after all, doing “His ministry” is what caused all of the persecution they were enduring! Instead, they experienced joy and comfort. What’s more, they encountered freedom! We will look at facing our “midnight hours” with the joy of the Lord and how we too can experience breakthroughs!
