“The prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!” Acts 16:26 NLT.
You may probably have certain things holding you back. You might feel stuck, like nothing has changed in your life for the better. It sounds odd, but there’s no better time for you to thank God than right now.
Paul did this in Acts 16 while he was in prison with Silas. In the middle of the night, the two decided to have a praise session. As they praised God, the Bible says, “The prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!” (Acts 16:26 NLT).
That story is a miracle, but it’s also a metaphor of what God does in our lives when we praise Him. When you need to be set free from an attitude, an addiction, or habit, praise God. It’ll break the chains holding you back.
My challenge for you is to learn to make praise your natural response for everything you face, good or bad. Develop that habit in your life and encourage your family to do the same and then see what God will do.
Father, as I give you praise, break every yoke in my life and let doors of opportunities, miracles and breakthroughs be opened to me IJN
Shalom!
