34 The Christian Reader September 2007 LEON BING continued from page 32 43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. There are some who can swim, some of you are mature enough in the things of God that you know how to fast and pray, and seek God’s face, seek Godly counsel and obey God’s word. You are the ones that when the issues of life begin to get too much for you, you know how to get resolve because you allow the Holy Spirit that is within you to lead you into all truth. There are some on boards, some of you who have enough God in you that you realize that if you can hook up with a pray partner, or a mature Christian, you can get pointed in the right direction. Also those who are mature Christians realize that you are boards that others can use to make it out of their situations. You may be Christian Counselors, Deacons, and Ministers just to name a few. And some on broken pieces, you may not be as mature in the things of God as others, but be assured of this one thing, if you put your faith and confidence in God, you can make it out of you troubles, even if it is on broken pieces! If all you know is that one Bible verse or passage, hold fast to it! Whatever that broken piece is, don’t let go! You can make it on broken pieces! I love you all and may God bless each of you!
