They didn't try to escape

The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods. When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!" And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

This account from Acts 16:22-30 is pretty telling of a great posture of a Christian. One, Paul and Silas were beaten up. Then they were jailed. What was their response? They sung praises to God. I would argue that these weren't calculated, manipulative gestures as to raise curiosity among the other prisoners. I believe they were so in love with God, and so unconcerned with appearance or status with others that they sang unabashedly.

Would you sing praises to God aloud walking down a busy street, unaffected by those around you simply because I adored God that much? I think this is what Paul and Silas were doing.

Not only that, God demonstrated His power by releasing an earthquake that rendered the restraints useless. Yet they did nor flee. They remained, seeing it as an opportunity to minister to the jailor who now feared reprimand (execution) for allowing an escape.

Paul and Silas did not consider themselves first, trying to flee, but they remained. And they never harbored bitterness or contempt against their enemies (persecutors and the jailor).

Perhaps with such an attitude of worship in me, may I have opportunity to be used by God because I consider no one to be a worthy adversary, and they will know me by my love for God.
