Soul and Anchor

 

A life without God is like a boat without an anchor.
― Billy Graham (1918-2018)

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.      Hebrews 6:19

 

Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. Acts 27:29

” Unless anchors are dropped into the sea, they are useless.

In the same way, we must take hold of the hope God has provided and use it as our source of stability. When we focus on our troubles, we are tossed about without a firm foundation.

But when we concentrate on God’s character and promises, we’ll remember that He always works situations out for our good—even when we don’t understand how.

So whether we’re facing an uncertain outcome or a situation we can’t change, knowing God is faithful allows us to stand firm.”      Dr. Charles Stanley (1932-)

Excellence

 

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ”
—Aristotle. (384-322BC)


of Faith and Fruit

 

Obedience is the fruit of faith;

 patience, the bloom of the fruit.
