What is your anchor? Where do you draw your strength from? The Bible tells us in the book of proverbs that those who trust in their riches will fail but the righteous will thrive. That’s why the popular song says that we have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure even in the most turbulent winds at sea. Because life can be likened to being at sea, it is important that we are anchored to the unfailing God.  The Bible reading today gives an example of such through a lamentation that God asks prophet Ezekiel to raise against the land of Tyre which was so beautiful and blessed that they began to trust in their beauty and riches. They attracted all forms of trade from far and near. However, God said that they would be rowed into the sea and destroyed. The very people that were drawn to them would then sigh and be afraid at what had become of them.  Be careful in your priorities. Make God your priority and every other thing will be added unto you. However, every other thing minus God is nothing when it comes down to the moment of truth.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you because you are the all-powerful and all-sufficient God. Father, I look to you as my rock and my anchor. Please protect me in the storms of life. Shield me because I dwell in you. Let it be evident to the world that you are my protector and sustainer in Jesus name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. ‎
