The Anchor of Hope and Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Your portion of joy is the anchor you need to be safe through the storms of life.

            I recently heard a beautiful song by Hillsong Live that was entitled: “ANCHOR”. As I listened to and carefully examined the lyrics, I realized that surely it was written by someone who had been through and survived some tough, rough storms of life.  A strong faith in God is our anchor of hope.  Listen to these words:  

I have this hope. As an anchor for my soul through every storm, I will hold to You.  With endless love all my fear is swept away; In everything I will trust in You.

CHORUS
There is hope in the promise of the cross.
You gave everything to save the world You love.
And this hope is an anchor for my soul.
Our God will stand…Unshakeable!

VERSE: Unchanging One, You who was and is to come.  Your promise sure; You will not let go.

BRIDGE
Your Name is higher;
Your Name is greater.
All my hope is in You.

Your word unfailing;
Your promise unshaken.
All my hope is in You!

             You may be in the midst of a storm right now.  Maybe you’ve just come through a rough one. One may be coming soon! We must be prepared! Hold tight to The Anchor. There is hope in God and joy in the Lord!
