Examining the first chapter of the book of Philippians, we find Paul chained in prison and yet boldly declaring that his imprisonment is not to be feared or dreaded but rather because of Christ. Because of his chains, the gospel was going forth and he found joy in the midst of the prison cell. Perhaps there are things that you feel trapped in, but if surrendered to God they can become the very thing that feeds your testimony and brings joy in the midst of what you may have thought of as a prison. Today, you are NOT A HOSTAGE, but rather a tool in the hands of God impacting your world!
