I'm listening to Charles Stanley this morning, and here's the big point: "Storms are inevitable. The anchor is immovable." Honestly, you ought to find him on TV or online today and listen to this sermon. Take notes. Digest every word because he's right. Storms will come . . . I don't care how you live your life. Storms will come. But God's Word is always right, always true, always timely. For every single storm, you can find a perfect Word in the Bible to address whatever it is you are facing. But guess what? It means you need to get busy. Dig in God's Word. Make it your business to know what He says that applies to your life today. Don't wait on a pastor or a friend to figure it out for you. It is your responsibility, and mine, to read and learn God's Word on our own. It takes work. It takes time. It takes effort. And it is worth more than anything else in your life.
When you learn the eternal Word of our eternal God, you can truly build a relationship with Him. And in that relationship, you will find strength. I have always heard people say, "If so and so happens, I just won't make it." Well, we can make it and we will, but we must make up our minds to be tenacious. We must never give up reading, studying, and praying in order to grow our relationship with our precious Father. He is "sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient, holy and just." Need more? Read His Word and you will love Him more every day.
Be tenacious always, and in the storms of life, don't be blown away. Hold fast!
