And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God and the prisoners heard them. Acts 16:25
This verse just struck me! First of all they were singing when they were in the worst of conditions! Not only were they in prison singing, not only were they singing in the middle of the night, but they were singing loud enough for everyone to hear them! They were singing to their God, the one they could have resented saying, "You could free us". But they contently sang and praised God right where He had placed them. O that I may sing with a heart full of joy and praise to my God regardless of everything and everyone around me.
You can take the girl out of Ecuador, but you can't take Ecuador out of the girl....
I have heard many sanging but since I have gotten home I think this is one of the truest! I am still discovering all the ways God has worked and moved and changed my life. I am still adjusting back into life and seeking God's will. It all seemed like such a straight shot but God is not confined to my thoughts and plans, I am so thankful He is not, and I am so thankful He is working and changing me, my hearts desires and my goals and ambitions in life. I still need all the prayers I can get! :) I want to be willing to do anything as long as God will be glorified!
