    Paul and Silas likely did not feel like praising God when they were in jail, but they learned to walk by faith and not by feelings. Paul commands us to do the same thing. He commands us to walk by faith and not by feelings.

Paul and Silas had just cast out the demons who were occupying the servant girl, but her owners had them put in jail.
