TOGETHER IN PRAYER
Acts 12: 5, 12
As we consider where the Lord brought the church during this time of great trial we behold the place where the Lord brings his people and where the Lord keeps us. The Lord caused this severe trial by his mighty hand and through it he brought his saints together to his feet in prayer. Trials are painful. But the more painful the trial, the more the believer is made to behold our sin and inability; the more the believer is brought to confess that only the caring, all-sufficient hand of our Lord and our Redeemer can provide our need. When a believer is drawn by the Lord into true prayer he is drawn to the feet of Christ and that is the place where the Lord keeps his saints safe.
