Our Anchor

"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of God shall stand for ever." (Isaiah 40:8).

Often in our lives we have trials and heartaches that we have to go through, but we have an anchor, our blessed Savior, who will keep us from drowning. When there is no rain for a long time, or there is too much rain, the flowers and grass fade and wither. It is the same with us if we don't have a steady diet of the Word of God.

Sometimes our strength grows weak, and our determinations falters, it is then that we need to cling to Jesus, our anchor in the storms of life. If we are unable to run to Jesus, or even walk to Him because we are hurting so badly, then we need to crawl to Him, or ask someone to lift us up to Him.

It does not matter what heartache, problem, or crisis we are facing, the Word of God is still true and will stand forever. Many people scoff at the Bible and at those who believe it. Get a rope and tie yourself to the anchor of love, Jesus. As long as we are anchored in Him, all hell can come against us but we will be held safe and secure by His love and faitfulness.

Is your strength weak today? Do you feel that you aren't able to go another day? Turn to the only one who can give lasting comfort and support. Yes, Jesus is our blessed anchor of hope and safety.

Thank God for His anchor of love!!
