Anchors

A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain. "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?"
"Throw out an anchor, sir."
"What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"
"Throw out another anchor, sir."
"And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do?"
"Throw out another anchor."
“Hold on," said the Captain, "where are you getting all your anchors from?"
"From the same place you're getting your storms, sir."

Don’t you wish all of the storms of life were make-believe? Unfortunately, we are in a world for now where the storms are real. But with that God has given us an achor – Jesus. Hold on to him. Throw him in the deep waters of your despair and let Him achor your life. When you do – you will not only survive – God will be proud.
