Acts 16:22-25
Excerpted from: What Do We Do at the End of an Age?Later, in Acts 16:22-25, Paul and Silas were imprisoned after also being beaten. (We really don't have much to complain about.) The account says that at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God. They were in the stocks in prison, with stripes on their bodies from the beating. Yet they had confidence in the Messenger and His message, and were willing to suffer for it. They could rejoice because they knew their faith was genuine and in the right thing. The Hebrews needed some of that same confidence in God and zeal that the apostles had, and we may need it as well. If we find ourselves at midnight, and we are doomscrolling - which is like prison - and depressed or anxious, then something is clouding our vision of what we have been called to, and what has been opened to us, and Who is with us always, even in our darkest hour.
