Despite repeated imprisonment by a government hostile to the gospel, Paul refused to give in to discouragement. He persisted in prayer, praised God's name, and continued to preach the gospel. Many tend to forget God in times of trouble, but God promises to hear our cries in distress, remaining the same yesterday, today, and forever. When we praise the Lord, we are brought into the helpfulness of His presence. Our time of imprisonment can become an opportunity to preach the gospel, just as Paul did in his own prison. Are you using your difficult times to grow in the Lord and strengthen your witness, or are you wasting them?
