acts 2:42

Acts 2:42 “and they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship in the breaking of the bread and in prayers.”

This verse is weird it’s so small but yet says so much to me. It seems like the basis of my life should be and is striving to be revolved around staying steadfastly in the doctrine, have strong fellowship, and pray at any time good and bad.  Why wouldn’t I want this for my life? Staying steadfast in the doctrine learning about all the great true stories of my god seems like the cure for a lack of wisdom and knowledge to have the tools to use against any attack from my enemies. Fellow ship would bring me strength in a body to work for efficient for Christ having someone to lean on with good council and have someone leaning on my shoulder for the near fact of loving Jesus together, yes many hands create fewer work but it seems like more efficient work and stronger results when the body of people are moving with the motives for and of Christ. The breaking of the bread was one of the last things Jesus did with his apostles before he was crucified on the cross for my sins. He broke the bread as an analogy to show me that he loves me and because he loves me he is going to sacrifice his flesh for me. Now today when I do communion I do this in respect of this moment as a remembrance of gods love. To secure my doubt and my sinful thoughts and remember what my god did for me. Sometimes I forget how much power Praying can undertake. Praying gives me closure in big decisions, it strengthens my faith giving me a more of a personal relationship with Jesus and grows the holy spirit that dwells in me. These for things that are in this verse should be something I cling and never let go of because this four things give me strength and save my life and kill my flesh so my application would be to make this something that is not just something that’s easy to say and hard to do but something I merely do out of instinct clinging to these things steadfastly.
