In today's verses, the jailer saw the Lord at work as the cell doors were opened, but the prisoners didn't leave. He recognized a wonderful thing and asked how to be saved, the disciples' response was, "believe!" As soon as the jailer heard the words they spoke to him about the Lord, he immediately started serving. He washed their wounds, he didn't wait to be trained, he didn't wait to know more, he started serving right away. Often times we think we need to be more prepared to serve God, but really all it takes is for is to say, "what must I do?" Each morning ask God what he wants you to do that day and be ready to do whatever it maybe! Remember, what He asks of us may not make sense to us or others, but it is always the right thing if God is sending us.
Acts 16:31-34 NIV
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
