When I hear the news each day of times, events and trends,
Within I have an urgency to gather up "loose ends"
To "center" on important things so I can stay "on track",
To hear what God would say to me,,, in every way to not be slack.
He is faithful to direct and guide us in each step we take.
In Him we then can find our way in all decisions we should make.
Being anchored in the Lord will bring to us a steadiness.
Giving us a sense of peace and a new-found readiness.
"Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time (buying up each opportunity), because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is."
Ephesians 5:15-17 Amplified Bible
HAVING STRONG ANCHOR
Some folks have no anchor... their lives are adrift...
They will be blown about by winds and currents of the times, which can sometimes push, shove and rob stability. Should tides of pressure rise around them they will have difficulty "hanging on" or staying afloat.
Now, more than ever, it is important to chart a course in safe waters and put down anchor in a sheltered and safe place.
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)."
Psalm 91:1 Amplified Bible
