Who is in Charge?
Acts 16:23-25

Paul and Silas were accused of causing trouble. The officials gave orders to beat them.

²³ And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. ²⁴ Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. ²⁵ About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them…

Paul and Silas had done nothing wrong. They were badly beaten and put in prison. Even in chains, they still prayed and sang songs praising God.

Think!

Paul and Silas did not deserve to be punished. Did they whine and complain? No! They knew God was still in charge! They prayed and sang songs to Him. If things happen to you that don’t seem fair, remember, God is still in charge. Talk to Him about it. Praise Him for being there to help you through it. God is always working out His plan in your life.

You can pray like this:

Dear God, I’m glad You’re in charge! Help me praise You instead of complaining when things are unfair. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
