Anchors in the Storm

Anchoring our Soul

(Hebrews 6:19 NIV) We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and

secure…

We’re anchored when we cultivate God’s presence.

(Psalm 91:1-4 NIV) Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is

my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will

save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He

will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find

refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Peace isn’t the absence of trouble.

Peace is the presence of God.

2. We’re anchored when we remember God’s promise.

(Psalm 119:81 NIV) My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I

have put my hope in your word.

Don’t let your circumstances speak louder than God’s Word.

3. We’re anchored when we understand God’s process.

(Romans 5:2-4 NIV) And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know

that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and

character, hope.

Trouble doesn’t build character, it reveals character.
