God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
When we think of the image of an anchor, and what it is meant to do, we can easily see the spiritual connection between the anchor for a boat and the anchor for our souls. An anchor is used to dock a boat, that means that when the current changes or when the wind blows a certain way the boat or ship will not move. It will stay in place, it might move a little bit but as long as the anchor is attached it can only go so far. It will not drift into se, because the anchor is what is keeping it in place, and keeping it from moving any further than it should go.
It is the same for our souls. Essentially we are the boat and GOd is the anchor. The water, wind, and waves are the things getting in the way. The things that would move us if we did not have a strong foundation in the Lord. We are living in a world where the wind blows every which way, and very strong winds I might add. We live in a world where the current of the water is constantly changing. If we do not have something to hold on to or something to ground us we will get thrown from place to place, position to position, and find ourselves picking up and starting over for the rest of our lives. If we do not find something to keep us still, we will move everytime the wind moves, we will float away with the current. But when our souls are anchored in Christ we are unmovable, and unshakable. When God is the anchor that holds us down then we will not go with the wind. Our faith will be tested, sometimes, those waves and winds will be so strong that we can barely stand, but our anchor is stronger. Our anchor has all control, our anchor won’t let us fall, our anchor will pick us up when we start to sink. We might sway, we might stumble a bit but we will not be moved. It may come our way but our faith in God is stronger. We will not be shaken and we will not be moved because the Holy Spirit lives in us, and is making sure that we stand firm in this walk. So that when anything comes our way, when anything tries to knock us down or move us, we will not be moved. God is holding us down, He has us. When Christ is our anchor it is almost like we’re made of bamboo, we will bend but we will never break.
Reflection
- Do you have an anchor for your soul?
- What winds or waves are the strongest in your life?
Prayer Time
Allow your answer to the above questions guide your prayers. Talk to God about the winds and waves in your life, whatever they may be give it God. Find comfort in knowing that He will not allow you to be moved or shaken, just allow Him to be the anchor for your soul.
I love you, I hope you have an amazing day or evening! Make sure you share this with someone and come back tomorrow for day 86!
