THE ANCHOR HOLDS

Did you know when we look at a storm at sea all the waves and turbulence are on the top of the water? When you go down deeper, below the surface, the ocean is calm, almost at rest. On the surface, our world is being battered by the biggest waves we have witnessed in our lifetime. We might be tempted to ask where is God in this pandemic?

 God says, "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)  Be still in this verse is written in the context of trouble and war. Be still is not God's way of blowing us off, or just a kind suggestion. God is not asking us to go sit quietly in the corner. He is commanding us to rebuke this storm through the eyes of faith. When we are in the eye of the storm and we think we are going under, it's no time for weak knees. God forcefully says, "know that I am God." 

God is not suggesting we deny our fear, or pretend we have our emotions under control. On the contrary, He is saying be fearless. Dare to go beyond the waves of fear and anxiety into the deep, where the water is calm within your soul.  Fall on your knees and pray. When you get up, walk by faith not by sight. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble". (Psalm 46:1)  Let faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, be your anchor.

There is life after this storm and when the wind and waves die down we can expect a sunrise worth waiting for.

If you are struggling with worry in this crisis please reach out for prayer. PRAYER LINE # 888-388-2683
