Philippians 4:4 “ Rejoice in the Lord always (delight, gladden yourselves in Him). again I say, Rejoice!”

“But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God. . . Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone’s shackles were unfastened.” Acts 16:25-26
