Who Is Watching You Suffer? How Your Faith in Hard Times Shows Your Kids and Coworkers Jesus (Acts 16:25)

In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson talks about the audience watching your life right now. Pastor John describes four: the great cloud of witnesses in heaven described in Hebrews chapter 11, the angels and demons in the unseen realm, and the people around you, such as your children, grandchildren, coworkers, and classmates. When you go through suffering, they are watching to see whether your faith holds up. Returning to Acts chapter 16, verse 25, he imagines the other prisoners listening as Paul and Silas pray and sing instead of complaining. He stresses that this is not about pleasing people but about choosing God at the deepest level so His joy and hope show up in us. Pastor John encourages parents and grandparents to let their kids hear them praying out loud, and shares how hearing his own parents pray for him stayed with him for ten years until God answered.
