Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Be a willing
vessel….one filled up with joy!
How
important it is to be anchored with Christ. Picture with me for a moment, what
an anchor looks like. Can you visualize the shape? Look closely and you’ll see a cross in the
middle…with curved ends that I like to see as symbolic arms.
“During the early years of
Christianity, Christians were under heavy persecution by the Romans. To
identify their faith to other practicing Christians under the watchful eye of
the ruling people, they would wear anchor jewelry or even tattoo anchors on
themselves. The anchor was seen as a symbol of strength. It was, also, a
popular symbol because of its close resemblance to the cross.”*
As
Christians today, we proclaim Jesus Christ as our anchor. It was on a cross that he suffered and died
for us. He gave the supreme
sacrifice…His life…in exchange for our sin debt. It was as if Jesus stretched
out His arms and said, “I love you this much!”
Do you feel His loving arms embracing you…especially through the storms
of life?
·
The ultimate anchor…
·
The One Who never lets go…
·
The steadfast, constant in our lives that keeps
us from steering off course---
·
That is our Jesus!
Let the steadfast,
indescribable joy of Jesus be your anchor as you boldly stand with Him.
