I’VE ANCHORED MY SOUL IN JESUS MY LORD!!
I’ve been on a couple of big war ships. They are really huge and they are made to stay on the top of the water. They are so large, it is amazing that they don’t just sink. Sometimes when the ship must stop, the sailors drop several anchors that weigh several tons apiece to hold the ship in place and prevent it from shifting and going off course. The anchor grips the bottom and holds the ship steady.
Spiritually, we all need something to hold us where we need to be. We need something to keep us on course, we need a spiritual anchor. An anchor is useless unless it is needed. The ship is our souls, the storms are the troubled times of our lives, but the anchor that holds us steady and prevents our ship from wrecking is JESUS!! Everyone needs JESUS as their “sure” anchor.
I've anchored my soul in the haven of rest,
I'll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep o'er the wild stormy deep,
In Jesus I'm safe evermore.
Hebrews 6:18-19 KJV
[18] That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: [19] Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
