I was walking with a friend and I noticed a large anchor,my friend told me it was called an'Admiral Patton Anchor'.It reminded me of a hymn we used to sing by Priscilla Jane.Owens , the first verse goes,'Will your anchor in the storms of life? that's a very good question and I wonder how you will answer that question?there are many storms in life some of our own making. We are married and our marriage appears to be falling apart, there is usually a reason ,but what ever the reason,you're scared,frightened, and don't know where to turn to.Could be you just have been diagnosed with a serious health problem,will you survive it?,so many things are going on in your head. Job loss how are you going to get by it is like being in in a storm,and you feel like you are drowning.Then there is your children,they are in trouble,and it seems there is nothing you can do about it,another storm.They are never far away ,they come when you least expect them,these are some of the storms we get into,is there an answer?,here is the chorus of that old hymn.
'We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure like the billows roll;
Fastened to the rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour love! ,'
I read this on the internet ,'The anchor symbolizes Christ ,and its through Him,we receive inner strength, enabling us to persevere in all the storms in life ,and to be more conquerors.
