Do You Know Lydia?
Lydia could be any lady, mother we know
She had a business of selling purple
Made money for her family yet
Was generous to other believers and friends
if they needed somewhere to stay she opened her home to them.
She cooked meals, cleaned and listened to the disciples
learned all she could of God's plans and words
Lydia was rewarded by being able to share in
Paul and Silas' miracle of being released from prison by the hand of God.
The guards were converted to believers due to the earthquake that loosed the chains of
Paul and Silas, yet they did not escape the jail. Which would cause the guards to be
executed. Yet the guard and his whole family was converted to believers through this
incidence. Paul and Silas were released of any charges at this time.
Do you believe God is in control? I do!!
From Acts chapter 16 of the KJV
