You Should Anchor in A Calm
One of the advantages of living in the information age is having access to the knowledge of others.
Like the knowledge of an experienced cargo ship captain who wrote a blog post on anchoring.
Very useful.
It turns out, that when the sea is rough, you want to be loose and navigating.
The best places and times to anchor are in places that are calm, both in terms of current activity and wind activity.
Paul’s metaphor holds…turns out he may have known this.
Why We Anchor
We anchor to “lay hold of the hope that is set before us”.
Hope, in turn, is the anchor for our souls.
It allows us to stay where we need to stay and enables us to go where we need to go.
I guess you could say that we anchor so that we have an anchor.
It works in real life, sometimes saying it sounds wonky.
Where We Anchor
According to Jesus
According to the Psalmist
Conclusion
When we anchor in the calm of the secret place; the place where we know and are known by God, we find the anchor we need.
The anchor that allows us to stay where we need to stay and enables us to go where we need to go.
