Acts 16:16-40

Paul drove a spirit out of a girl that gave her the ability to tell fortunes. Her masters were angry at Paul and Silas because of the lost source of income and brought them before the authorities. Paul and Silas were beaten and put into prison where they were chained by the feet. Around midnight, while they were praying and singing hymns, there was an earthquake that opened the doors of the prison and unfastened the prisoners' chains. When the jailer woke up and saw the open doors, he assumed that the prisoners had escaped. As he prepared to kill himself, Paul called out to assure him they were still there. The jailer was so moved that he asked Paul and Silas how he could be saved. They witnessed to him and his family and they all became believers.

Paul and Silas acted differently than what was expected. Their actions set them apart from the rest of the world. Because of this, the jailer took notice and his heart was opened for God's word. When our lives reflect the love of God, others notice and begin to wonder what makes us different from the rest of the world. The way you behave can open doors for you to share your faith when you are keep God at the center of your life.
