The Christian life is like a journey in a sea, full of storms. There are storms in the house, storms in the family, storms in the neighborhood, and there are storms in the country round about. All of these try to shake and weaken our faith, with doubts and fears. But God knowing our need, has made provision for us, and give us four anchors. By these we can be perfectly safe. We see from Acts 2.41,42 what these four anchors are which God has provided for every believer:
“Then they that gladly received His word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers”. That is how the work began on the day of Pentecost. God’s Word was preached in power and authority by these men of God.
That Word began to prick those who heard it. They believed straightaway and were found obedient to the word given to them. Then there were 3,000 souls added unto them. At the very same time they were given these four anchors we have mentioned, as found in verse 42. They began and continued first of all in the apostles’ doctrine, secondly in fellowship, thirdly in the breaking of bred, and fourthly in prayer.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“They that seek the Lord shall understand all things.” Prov.28:5.
