—Acts 16:16-24

How do you react when others don’t treat you well? Paul cast out the evil spirit from the girl, and then found himself and Silas arrested, attacked, beaten and then thrown in prison. Shouldn’t they be greeted with cheers because they demonstrated the power of God by freeing this girl? I think I would be angry and confused if I were in their place. But in a prison, fastened in chains, they chose to react by praying and singing hymns to God. How can we choose to react differently when we are mistreated?
