Anchor

JAMES 1:6 "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind."

  In times of trouble do you find yourself doubting? I think we can all answer yes to that one because it is part of our fallible human nature.  There is something we can do to overcome our doubts and fears though and that is to turn to the Infallible Word of God.  Everything you need to know is written in the Bible.  The catch to all of the knowledge available to you is that you must take the time to study His Word so you can have a better understanding of God's promises to us.

   There is no substitute for prayer and Bible study.  I know we are all very busy in our lives and it seems overwhelming at times but we have no excuse not to spend quiet time in His Word. If you understand what is written then you can overcome the doubt, fear, and anxieties this world is constantly throwing at us.  God wants us to have a life of peace but the only way to have that is to trust in Him and bring all of our cares to Him.

   So when you are feeling like one of those waves being tossed to and fro look to God and let Him be your Anchor.  I can guarantee it will make a huge difference in the way you handle adversity.
