'Not Shaken From Their Purpose.'
Acts 16:40.
a) After Paul and Silas came out of the prison,
b) They went to Lydia's house
c) To see the brothers and encourage them.
d) Then they left the city.
(Through this QT I find that Paul and Silas were Not Shaken From Their Purpose)
PRAY: For Grace and Strength to continue in our God-given Purpose.

'Jesus Christ Desires Good Things For Us.'
John 17:24.
a) "Father, I desire that they also,
b) "Whom You have given Me,
c) "May be with Me where I am,
d) "To see My Glory
e) "Which You have given Me
f) "Because You loved Me
g) "Before the foundation of the World."
(This Second one reminds me that Jesus Christ Desires Good Things For Us) THIS IS DELIBERATELY REPEATED!
PRAY: To always follow and be with Jesus Christ - by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Chris.
Paul and Silas continued with their apostolic ministry even though they had just come out of a time in prison due to persecution. Even today, in some parts of the World, this story can be repeated. In many countries there are people in jail for simply preaching the Gospel. We should pray for them, the persecuted Church. Pray that, if and when they come out of the prison, they will be strengthened to continue to serve the Lord wherever He may lead them.
