ANCHORS FOR YOUR SOUL (3)
"I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told."
Ac 27:25 NIV
ANCHORS FOR YOUR SOUL (3)
Third, anchored by God's promises. The third anchor that gives us confidence in a crisis is found in Paul's words, "I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me." If you ever been betrayed by an unfaithful spouse, you may have lost trust in marriage. If you were a victim on the subprime mortgage crisis, you may have lost you home and your trust in bankers. If you voted for someone you believed had integrity only to discover they were in the pocket of special interest groups, you may have lost your trust in government. But never ever lose trust in the promises of God! Look in the face of your storm today and sing the words of this famous hymn by Russell Carter: "Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling winds of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God, I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God." You may lose your cargo, you may lose your ship, you may even go overboard -- but you're going to prevail because of God's promises to you. As the old saying goes, "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it!" If you're in crisis today, here are some Bible promises you can stand on: "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Dt 33:27 NIV). "You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great" (Ps 18:35 NLT). "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you" (Isa 46:4 NIV).
