Our Universal Calling, or the story of the Philippian jailer and the home cleaner.
Acts 16:23-34 details a fascinating story of Paul and Silas’ night in a Philippian prison singing hymns and praying while the other inmates listened. No further mention of the other prisoners but the impact on the jailer and his family made history.
We have a delightful young lady who comes every other week and assists Betty with the deep cleaning of our home. A bright, cheery smile, the joy of the LORD permeates her being.
What’s the relationship between Paul & Silas and our young friend? It’s a notion that has been very important in my thoughts recently. But the answer is surprisingly simple. They, and we, are called to live out the Joy of the Lord in every aspect of our lives. And to carry that message into the world in which we have been placed.
