Opus 2025-066: Anchors a Way

I’m thinking of those clever devices we see used as advertising and attention getters on the side of the road.  They are long tubes a very light material, sometimes with legs and arms and extensions, and they are powered by a big fan in the base, blowing air up and out the top.  They wave around.  They go back-and-forth.  Sometimes they fall almost to where they hit the ground.  What never changes is the anchor they have at the bottom.  They can appear to be blown over.  They can have moments where they lose their air and almost collapse.  Through all this, the anchor is stable and doesn’t change.  Through this that fan keeps blowing a new supply of air up and through them.

This is where worship songs come in.  They talk about being anchored in Jesus.  They point out that our feet are set on the solid rock.  They remind us that our hope and our confidence is in Almighty God.  They remind us of our anchor.  And of course there is a harbor.

An anchor does no good unless it is planted firmly and attached to the boat.  Keep in mind that God would love to supply an anchor for your life but you need to attach yourself to Him.
