Good Morning,
My mug was just filled with Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee and it is time to write.
Our neighbor is a lady of prayer and yesterday she sent my wife and I a quote she came across.
"I want to be so anchored in Christ that chaos around me does not produce chaos within me." Mindful Christianity Paul Bane.
In today's world it can be so easy to come unglued from the stress of world events, such as wars, civil unrest, monetary woes, and danger from plain old lawlessness.
A few years ago while vacationing in Virginia, we toured the USS Wisconsin. The Wisconsin is a World War 2 battleship docked in Virginia and is by far one of the biggest ships I have ever seen. I was amazed at the size of the sea anchors and chains that were used to stable the ship when needed and hold it in place.
This quote made me think about the anchor that Christ is in our lives.It wouldn't take too much for people to spin out of control these days and then be fodder for chaos to enter our hearts, minds, and souls. Yet we are wrapped in the arms of His love and guided through troubling times. Jesus can keep us steady during times of despair, anger, doubt and fear.
But in order to have that stability we need to let Jesus drop His anchor and let Him steer the ship of our days, weeks, months and years.
Hebrews 6:19 NIV We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.
Food for thought. Are you anchored in Christ Jesus?
Marty
