The Midnight Hour

The Midnight Hour

This passage in Acts is one of my favorite. It takes me back to my time coaching tennis in South Korea. 

I woke up one morning of our conference tournament and went outside to pray and read my Bible. As I read Acts 16:25, the Holy Spirit filled me and I began to worship God. He is faithful so why should I not be. 

As I praised Him, He shared with me that as long as I remained faithful to Him, I would experience His love in this way. He has remained true to His word. 

When I have fallen short, I experienced the consequences of my disobedience. And as I have sought to remain faithful, I see the difference. 

Seek God! Remain obedient. He will always be there, even in the midnight hour. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 16:22-25

22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. 

23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24 When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
