When a demon-possessed girl disrupts Paul and Silas' ministry in Philippi, their compassion and authority lead to her deliverance—but at a high cost, as they are beaten and imprisoned, trusting God’s greater purpose in their suffering.

Paul and Silas, after days of being followed by a possessed slave girl, command the demon to leave her in the name of Jesus. This act of liberation angers the girl's owners, leading to a violent confrontation, false accusations, and a brutal flogging for Paul and Silas, who endure the suffering with unwavering faith.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 14:33, from the King James Version.
