Psalm: 116

Meditation

Acts: Paul and Silas find themselves in jail. As in Peter’s case, the Lord released them through seismic disaster (earthquake). The thing is, while all the prisoners were freed from their shackles, none escaped. Understandably, the prison guard was about to “fall on his sword” but was stopped by Paul, who told him no one escaped. As a direct result of this, the guard sought salvation and Paul and Silas obliged him. Early the next day, the authorities ordered Paul and Silas released, Not good enough for Paul who sought a public release.
