My Anchor Holds - Romans 1:1-6
Every
Christian, at some point, will bear the
pressure
of
overwhelming odds against them. Whatever
the crisis that leads you to worry, you
can take to heart that Christ is not
absent minded about you. In fact, Jesus
not only helps us to survive, but to
thrive in the painful valley of crisis.
This is important to acknowledge. Why?
Choices have to be made. Apart from a
biblical certainty, we will act out
choices that will leave us vulnerable
and exploited by the wiles of the devil.
Knowing
the fact that Jesus Christ is our
Shepherd, will keep us from
over-reacting to over-whelming pressure
in a superficial way. The world's answer
to pain, pressure and suffering is to
look for someone to blame, develop a
deep desire to escape, deny the problem,
or fall into depression. These are not
habits we can afford to live with.
Outlandish odds will press against you.
This is your opportunity to grow in your
awareness of God's presence and the
reliability of His promises. Make no
mistake about it, God makes no mistakes.
He knows what he is doing to you. Jesus
Is Our Anchor. Amen!
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
