Your Anchor in a Storm


By: Daniel Brown,

Many times, when we fall into trials we may be tempted to ask, "Where is God?

Well, God is there even when we can't see Him.

On gray, gloomy, rainy days, high above the overcast sky, the sun continues to shine. We can't feel its warmth or see its beauty, but it still exists.God's beauty and His love for us are real even when our circumstances are difficult.

If we think "above the clouds," we can have hope knowing that God is still there.Just as gray, gloomy, overcast skies are temporary, so are our difficulties.

If you are facing a discouraging situation in your life right now, remember that God is still there and rejoice in the fact that this too shall pass.

Sometimes, things are a little more intense than just a lttle rain. Many times, there are huge storms that come into our lives. But again, these shall pass as well.God uses these storms to produce good fruit in us. The bible says we should rejoice and "Count it all joy when we fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience so that we may be made perfect, complete, and lacking nothing" (James 1:2-4).

Stories have been told about the only thing that saved the lives of people aboard a ship in a storm was a strong anchor. But, there are also stories of those who perished when their anchor did not hold........
