Anchored

USS Yorktown, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

How do you hold fast 30,000 tons of metal?

You hold her steady with a couple of relatively small anchors. Granted these anchors on the USS Yorktown are anything but small; yet they are for the task they must perform. 

What holds your life in place?  

"Those of us who have taken refuge in him hold on to the confidence we have been given. We have this confidence as a sure and strong anchor for our lives."  Hebrews 6:19-20 God's Word to the Nations

For many people their confidence seems to be anchored to things that are tangible:
     -- Money
     -- People
     -- Prescription Drugs

What doesn't make sense to these people is that our confidence is not in what we can touch, taste, see or smell. Our confidence is unseen, hidden in the one who is our anchor, Jesus Christ.

There are many winds that we will face today, blowing us here and there. Those who find their confidence in Christ will have a sure anchor.
