I read an article last night that I loved, so I would like to share a bit from it. The article was about setting a sure anchor. The author of the article talked about how he went on a cruise and the boat went into a beautiful secluded bay and dropped the anchor to secure the boat from drifting off. He saw that they were drifting at an ever so slightly rate, but to find that they drifted in the same circular pattern, and so they knew the anchor worked and that they were held in a safe place. The skipper didn't wait to drop the anchor when they had drifted into dangerous waters, instead they dropped it first thing and made it a focus to prevent them from drifting at all.
This same principles applies to us in life. The author went on to tell us the importance of the anchor. He told us that we need to drop our anchor in a secure place, not on the sandy sea bottom of doubt, or the unsteady things of life, but to anchor on the sure foundation. A foundation that cannot fall. That foundation is Jesus Christ. He is the Savior, and the Rock of Our Salvation. When we anchor on him it is then that we will be able to get through the storms of life that do so easily set us up to drift. There is no end to his stability.
He can and will hold us in what ever we face! I know this is true. Jesus Christ is real! He did atone for our sins, he took the "price" upon him so that we can be happy and protected from the storms. We will be protected if we anchor on him before the storm and he will reach out his mighty saving hand to pull us to harbor if we grab on. He loves us. Sure the wave generated from the storm will rock the boat and make the journey a bit rough at times, However if we are anchored on him when the storm passes we will be more grateful for the peace and rest we do get. I promise we will be thankful we anchored on him, or that we let him pull us to safety. I love you all! Have a blessed day!
