Acts 16:25

"But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them"Praying and singing hymns" Unable to sleep and find any physical comfort, they focused on spiritual things. "Listening" "Rare verb to listen with pleasure" (Robertson p. 260). "The double discomfort of the lictor's rods and the stocks was not calculated to fill Paul and Silas with joy, but about midnight the other prisoners, as they listened, heard sounds coming from the inmost part of the jail--sounds, not of groaning and cursing, but of prayer and hymn-singing" (Bruce p. 337). Be amazed at the attitude found in Paul and Silas. There is no self-pity or questioning whether God still loves them. Here is. faith that praises God, no matter what the situation (Habbakuk chapter 3; Hebrews chapter 11). The devil's accusation in the book of Job is again answered, "Yes. man will simply serve God out of love and more no other reason" (Job 2:3).
