The Heavenly Anchor Hold’s ..
Acts 27:15 ~ The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.?
Abba Father good morning – We will all get caught within the dysfunctional storms of this life. Some created intentionally by our own doings. Others unintentionally as the result of living within and among the ways of this world. A worldly world of selfishness, darkness, sinfulness, ungodliness. Storms, trials, temptations are real events in the lives of real people living real life within a world of extreme brokenness. They can be a tremendous struggle to some people every single day. Others occasionally. What we do know for sure. They hurt. They penetrate. They can become overwhelming with lasting effects. Making it extremely difficult to move forward in life when fears, worries, anxiety, and unrest start consuming our thoughts, engaging our feelings, chasing after our emotions. Being caught in the storms of this life without a plan of readiness will be disastrous. Without adequate protection, our life is vulnerable. Without living ready, this worldly storm will bring total-destruction. Turning our life upside down with no anchor to hold or sustain our life. Storms will actively come throughout life at most unexpected moments. Living even equipped, even ready, even prepared. The hurt is extremely real. It is deeply penetrating. It will affect our life, our family, our friends, all of life living around our life. Everyone will encounter dysfunctional storms of life. Life’s brokenness coming full-force whether our life is living ready or not. How much damage the worldly effects leave behind and how deep it penetrates within our inner-core of thriving life: Our Heart ~ Our Mind ~ Our Soul will be determined by the anchor holding and sustaining our life. Living among the ways of this world storms will build upon storms. Trials upon trials. Until something needs to give-way. Something must leave our life. Like a tornado destroying everything in its path. Worldly damage can become internally destructive. Penetrating every emotion within our heart. Every thought within our mind. Causing unrest within our soul. It is critical to live alert. Intentionally living anchored within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit will sustain our inner-core of thriving life as the torrential winds attempt to toss our life into dysfunctional chaotic chaos. The living bible teaches about a way of life where storms, trials, temptations will come and go. Everyone will get tossed around but the heavenly anchor will hold. It will grip. This anchor holding firmly is made of The Lord Our God’s amazing undeserved grace. Having a grip of strength that will not let go. A grip so tight our life will feel comforting peace with protective living hope as storms, trials, temptations come throughout life. Yes, our life will need to hold on tightly. Trusting within brokenness. Engaging within a life of heavenly faith boldly, courageously, fearlessly as worldly winds swirl around our life. Heavenly faith is living sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Willingly living believing, accepting, trusting, following within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit. Reaching-out within faith. Clinging tightly on moment by moment. Living alert. Purposefully reading, holding, embracing the living bible as a way of life. Our anchor of life will be heavenly attached within engageable truthfulness, constant prayer, endless fellowshipping, attending church regularly. All heavenly motivated. All fully-engageable As our life lives tossed around among the waves of this world. This anchor, this heavenly grip will keep our life moving forward in the right direction within every promise in the living bible. Engageable promises to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us. With every wave, every tossing, every worldly storm our life will be like a ship bobbing up and down. But our life staying afloat within amazing living hope. Living faith is heavenly faith. Everlasting living hope willingly engaging The Lord Our God’s powerful cleansing, redeeming, restorational undeserved grace anchored within agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. All fully-engageable. Heavenly comfort actively breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) within everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). The Lord Our God purposefully loving all of life personally, unconditionally, intimately. Anchoring our life within free-gifts of life-changing undeserved grace. What our life is anchoring deeply within our inner-core of thriving life: Our Heart ~ Our Mind ~ Our Soul. Will be the anchor our life is holding, gripping, and clinging throughout storms of life. Remember. We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. Our life can live anchoring ourselves within the ways of this world, getting lost in the tornados of everyday life. Or our life can live boldly, courageously, fearlessly intimately protectively anchored within God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Our life clinging tightly to the engageable anchor of heavenly faithfulness holding within all the worldly storms of life’s brokenness. An anointed anchor that will never leave our life, never forsake our life, never abandon our life. The heavenly anchor will never release or never let go. The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. Live alert. How is our life living anchored within life? Reflect with extreme urgency. This life counts.?
