During our darkest times, we can find joy and peace in God's presence! We see this in Paul and Silas as they were stripped, beaten, and placed in stocks in the inner cell of prison, yet listen to what is said of them in Acts 16:25 'About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them'. Can you imagine, despite this dismal situation, they praised God, praying and singing as the other prisoners listened. My friend, despite the horrific circumstances we are in, we can experience joy and peace as Paul and Silas did. It is as we focus on God and not our circumstances that real peace and joy fills our soul and sheds light in the darkest of times. Whatever you are going through today, know that God is with you! Focus on Him ... Draw your strength from Him ... Trust God for the outcome!
