Exit Poles

In the middle of a tumultuous earthquake God can do something amazing - in the midst of chaos there is opportunity. Picture this: It’s midnight. In the darkness of their dank prison cell, Paul and his traveling companion, Silas, just survived a most severe beating. But they aren’t aren't moaning or groaning; they’re praying and singing hymns to God. The prisoners in adjoining cells are wide-awake, listening to them pray and sing. Suddenly the ground shakes violently, the prison foundations begin to crack. You can hear the sound of jangling chains break and the squeak of cell doors opening. Penitentiary guards, fellow prisoners and Paul and Silas must have thought they were doomed - stones and rubble from the cells falling down on them, but that wasn’t the case. As the shackles fell from Paul and Silas they and the others were all set free.

Consider that it would have been easy for Paul and his buddy to think their world was coming to an end, but in reality their story was simply changing. My prayer: “Father, in the center of pandemonium there is possibility; in commotion there is communion; lead us to the ones we need and to the ones who need us” Amen.
