Compelled By Love
Paul and Silas worshipped God in the prison when a violent earthquake happened. The prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. If they had been so focused on getting out of their cell, they could’ve freely escaped and saved themselves. But then, they didn’t do it. When the jailer woke up, he realized that Paul and the other prisoners chose to stay. And Paul even said to the man not to harm himself. Because of this act, I can say that Paul and Silas didn’t worship God because they needed something from Him. If they had this motive inside, then they could’ve treated the circumstance as God’s way…

Therefore, if You worship before me, it shall be Yours. Jesus answered him, “ It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’”.
