Darkest Hour

Today I was reminded about praising God in our darkest hours. If you really think about it, how easy is it to praise God when it's sunny outside, and life is going great? Anyone can sing praises to God when things are all good, happy and sunny, but your faith really shows when you praise God the toughest storms.

I can't remember the scripture, however, there were these two men who were sent out to preach and tell people the way to be saved. However, along their journey they get thrown into jail because they were accused of causing an uproar, due to casting out a demon from girl who could predict the future, making huge profits for her owners. They were severely flogged and tortured, and thrown into the deepest darkest cell of the jail. And yet despite all that was going on, they sung praises to God in their Darkest hour. Now that's faith!

It just gets me thinking.... and makes me see what real faith is!
