How shall we fix your eyes on things unseen?
There is no answer but faith,
faith in the character of God Himself.
That and no other is the anchor for our souls.
~Elizabeth Elliot
This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take My Heart Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.
The anchor of a great ship seems small compared to the vessel itself. Yet when dropped to the ocean floor, it holds even the largest vessel in place.
Faith in our God is the anchor of our souls, holding us safe. When questions don’t have answers, faith means we know that God does. When circumstances don’t make sense, faith means we know that God has the big picture. When we need something to hold us safely in the harbor when the storms come, faith means we know that God will not fail us. Faith means trusting in the character of God himself. Gaze not on what life appears to be; instead, anchor your soul in who God is. He is able to hold you steady. No matter what is happening in your life today, have faith God is still God—good, sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, wise, faithful, and unchanging.
Prayer for Meditation
Anchor my soul today, God—in you.
Scripture for Meditation
