In the summer of 1963, after an all-night bus ride, US civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer and six other black passengers stopped to eat at a diner in Winona, Mississippi. After law enforcement officers forced them to leave, they were arrested and jailed. But the humiliation wouldn’t end with unlawful arrest. All received severe beatings, but Fannie’s was the worst. After a brutal attack that left her near death she burst out in song: “Paul and Silas was bound in jail, let my people go.” And she didn’t sing alone. Other prisoners, restrained in body but not in soul, joined her in worship. According to Acts 16, Paul and Silas found themselves in a difficult place when they were imprisoned for telling others about JESUS✝️💝🎁. But discomfort didn’t dampen their faith. “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to GOD✝️💝🎁” (v. 25). Their bold worship created the opportunity to continue to talk about JESUS✝️💝🎁. “Then they spoke the word of the LORD✝️💝🎁to [the jailer] and to ALL the others in his house” (v. 32). Most of us will not likely face the extreme circumstances encountered by Paul, Silas, or Fannie, but each of us will face uncomfortable situations.
