BE

GRATEFUL
TO GOD,
HES ALWAYS
ON OUR SIDE

JOB 12:10
For the life of every living
thing is in his hand,
and the breath of every
human being.

PSALM 121:1-8
1I

look up to the mountains

does my help come from there? 2 My
help comes from the LORD, who made
heaven and earth! 3 He will not let you
stumble; the one who watches over
you will not slumber. 4 Indeed, he who
watches over Israel never slumbers or
sleeps.

PSALM 121:5-8
5 The

LORD himself watches over you!

The LORD stands beside you as your
protective shade. 6 The sun will not
harm you by day, nor the moon at
night. 7 The LORD keeps you from all
harm and watches over your life.
8 The LORD keeps watch over you as
you come and go,
both now and forever.

PSALM 124:1-8
1 What

if the LORD had not been on our

side? Let all Israel repeat:
2 What if the LORD had not been on our
side when people attacked us?
3 They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
4 The waters would have engulfed us; a
torrent would have overwhelmed us.

PSALM 124:5-8
5 Yes,

the raging waters of their fury

would have overwhelmed our very
lives. 6 Praise the LORD, who did not let
their teeth tear us apart! 7 We escaped
like a bird from a hunters trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
8 Our help is from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.

ACTS 16:16-40
16 One

day as we were going down to the

place of prayer, we met a slave girl who
had a spirit that enabled her to tell the
future. She earned a lot of money for
her masters by telling fortunes. 17 She
followed Paul and the rest of us,
shouting, These men are servants of
the Most High God, and they have come
to tell you how to be saved.

18 This

went on day after day until Paul got

so exasperated that he turned and said to
the demon within her, I command you in
the name of Jesus Christ to come out of
her. And instantly it left her. 19 Her
masters hopes of wealth were now
shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas
and dragged them before the authorities
at the marketplace.

ACTS 16:18-19

20 The

whole city is in an uproar

because of these Jews! they shouted
to the city officials. 21 They are
teaching customs that are illegal for us
22
Romans to practice. A mob quickly
formed against Paul and Silas, and the
city officials ordered them stripped
and beaten with wooden rods.

ACTS 16:20-22

23 They

were severely beaten, and then

they were thrown into prison. The jailer
was ordered to make sure they didnt
escape. 24 So the jailer put them into the
inner dungeon and clamped their feet in
the stocks. 25 Around midnight Paul and
Silas were praying and singing hymns to
God, and the other prisoners were
listening.

ACTS 16:23-26

26 Suddenly,

there was a massive

earthquake, and the prison was shaken to
its foundations. All the doors immediately
flew open, and the chains of every
27
prisoner fell off! The jailer woke up to

see the prison doors wide open. He

assumed the prisoners had escaped,
so he drew his sword to kill himself.

ACTS 16:26-27

28 But

Paul shouted to him, Stop!

Dont kill yourself! We are all here!
29 The jailer called for lights and ran to
the dungeon and fell down trembling
before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he
brought them out and asked, Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?

ACTS 16:28-30

31 They

replied, Believe in the Lord Jesus

and you will be saved, along with everyone
in your household. 32 And they shared the
word of the Lord with him and with all who
lived in his household. 33 Even at that hour
of the night, the jailer cared for them and
washed their wounds. Then he and
everyone in his household were
immediately baptized.

ACTS 16:31-33

34 He

brought them into his house and set

a meal before them, and he and his entire
household rejoiced because they all
believed in God. 35 The next morning the
city officials sent the police to tell the
jailer, Let those men go! 36 So the jailer
told Paul, The city officials have said you
and Silas are free to leave. Go in peace.

ACTS 16:34-36

37 But

Paul replied, They have publicly

beaten us without a trial and put us in
prisonand we are Roman citizens. So
now they want us to leave secretly?
Certainly not! Let them come themselves
to release us! 38 When the police
reported this, the city officials were
alarmed to learn that Paul and Silas were
Roman citizens.

ACTS 16:37-38

39 So

they came to the jail and

apologized to them. Then they
brought them out and begged them to
leave the city. 40 When Paul and Silas
left the prison, they returned to the
home of Lydia. There they met with
the believers and encouraged them
once more. Then they left town.

ACTS 16:39-40

PSALM 133:1-3
1 How

wonderful and pleasant it is

when brothers live together in harmony!
2 For harmony is as precious as the anointing
oil that was poured over Aarons head,
that ran down his beard and onto the
border of his robe. 3 Harmony is as refreshing
as the dew from Mount Hermon
that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the LORD has pronounced his
blessing, even life everlasting.

ECCLESIASTES 3:1
For everything there is
a season,
a time for every
activity under heaven.

PHILIPPIANS 1:6
And I am certain that God, who
began the good work within
you, will continue his work
until it is finally finished on the
day when Christ Jesus returns.

JEREMIAH 29:10
This is what the LORD says: You
will be in Babylon for seventy
years. But then I will come and do
for you all the good things I have
promised, and I will bring you
home again.
