HOW TO BE THANKFUL IN CHALLENGING SITUATIONS ACTS 16:23-34 PASTOR A. GLEN BASUEL 1. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT GOD HAS DONE ABOUT MIDNIGHT PAUL AND SILAS WERE PRAYING AND SINGING HYMNS TO GOD, AND THE OTHER PRISONERS WERE LISTENING TO THEM. (ACTS 16:25) 2. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT GOD IS DOING DURING THE NIGHT PAUL HAD A VISION OF A MAN OF MACEDONIA STANDING AND BEGGING HIM, “COME OVER TO MACEDONIA AND HELP US.” (ACTS 16:9) BEING CONFIDENT OF THIS, THAT HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL CARRY IT ON TO COMPLETION UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST JESUS. (PHILIPPIANS 1:6) 3. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO SUDDENLY THERE WAS SUCH A VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE THAT THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE PRISON WERE SHAKEN. AT ONCE ALL THE PRISON DOORS FLEW OPEN, AND EVERYONE’S CHAINS CAME LOOSE. (ACTS 16:26) THEY REPLIED, “BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED—YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD.” 32 THEN THEY SPOKE THE WORD OF THE LORD TO HIM AND TO ALL THE OTHERS IN HIS HOUSE. 33 AT THAT HOUR OF THE NIGHT THE JAILER TOOK THEM AND WASHED THEIR WOUNDS; THEN IMMEDIATELY HE AND ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD WERE BAPTIZED. 34 THE JAILER BROUGHT THEM INTO HIS HOUSE AND SET A MEAL BEFORE THEM; HE WAS FILLED WITH JOY BECAUSE HE HAD COME TO BELIEVE IN GOD—HE AND HIS WHOLE HOUSEHOLD.
