From Rick Warren....''The Bible teaches us that there are 3 kinds of storms in life..those that we bring on ourselves [like Samson], those that God causes [like Lake Galilee] and those caused by others [like when Paul n Silas were put in prison].
Is God your anchor and guide through these storms in your life? Impatience is often our catalyst for heading straight into a storm. Our feelings about our circumstances is another misleader in our lives, because our emotions are volatile and easily swayed. We also get into trouble by following worldly opinions, rather than God's unchanging Word.
If God is THE anchor for your mind, soul and body, then you have a hope that is unfailing, unconditional and ever lasting..... what a blessing.
This post reminds me of the old hymn that says, "I've anchored my soul in the cleft of the Rock that shadows a dry, thirsty land." Our heavenly Shadow, the Lord Jesus, leads us to the Rock that is higher than we are, PRAISE GOD!
