Drop Anchor
When the storm hits, sometimes you just need to drop anchor and turn to God. The storms that hit our lives is an inevitability, and no matter how well we prepare, or think we’re prepared, we can’t always prepare for every single contingency. All we can do, is hope and pray, and hunker down and wait for the storm to pass. Now dropping anchor isn’t always the best thing to do when you’re out on the ocean in a storm, but sometimes you have no other choice. When the wind is strong, the seas are tall, and it seems like there is no hope just remember God is always with you. Psalm 61:2 “From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” The tough days will come no matter how badly we try to prevent them, and sometimes it’ll seem like more then we can take. In your darkest hour call upon the Lord and find peace. Hebrews 6:18-19 “18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,” Find that peace to weather the storm.
The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place at times. We can feel as if we are tossed upon the waves, and sometimes we are. When it rains and the thunder rolls don’t worry for the Lord is with you. God’s mercy won’t leave you, and in all things God is working for the good. While even in the worst of circumstances, hearts are broken, and pain runs deep, there are still blessings to be found. The anchor of our soul is a metaphor to be grounded to the Lord. Allow yourself to praise God for the good and the bad. We don’t always understand why we are allowed to go through the horrible times, but some day those answers will be made clear. Having faith when the pain is deep may be tougher then it sounds. I myself don’t always get it right, but no matter where we are, or what we are going through Jesus has never left our side, and never will. We can be as broken as can be, we may be more lost then we’ve ever imagined, but casting that anchor down into the blackness of the water is much like tossing your faith out into the Cosmo’s and trusting it lands on something. Our faith runs deep and makes a connection with the Father we are anchored to Him, just as our anchor is tossed into the black sea and it hits bottom tethering us to the ocean floor. We cannot see the anchor on the ground but we know it’s there, just as we must have faith in Jesus Christ and that anchor is there even if we can’t see the other side.
Remember that God is always in control no matter how bad the storm. When we have nothing left, and everything is falling away, trust in the Lord. When you have lost everything, people, jobs, friends, remember that God’s got you in the palm of His hands. Remember when the sails are torn, the crumbled life is all you have, God will rebuild better then it was before if you have faith. God guards our soul, our heart, when you’re tossed upon the waves. Don’t loose your anchor and trust that it’ll do its job. Life will sometimes be heavy, and it’ll hurt, and you may end up broken, but God fixes broken things. In God all things are possible, and he promises peace at the end of the ride. Don’t let the storm toss you around, trust in God to be your anchor and never give up the fight. The thunder rolls, the wind howls, friends leave, family forsakes you, there is always God. Sometimes you just have to wait out the storm. Baton down the hatches and trust in the Lord God with all your heart.
