Anchored In Christ
By Jessica Teed
I have learned that God often requires us to wait upon Him and His timing. Sometimes, I’ve become impatient and tried to make the Lord’s plans happen for me, which didn’t end well. The Lord never intended us to live apart from Him. The Bible says in John 15:5 that without Him, we can do nothing. When we wait patiently, we will receive what God promised us (Hebrews 6:15).
Just as a boat that isn’t anchored will drift away even in calm waters, the same thing can happen when we are not anchored to the Lord. When we place our trust in ourselves and our abilities, we choose to build our foundations on shifting sand. If our foundations are not built upon Jesus Christ, we will drift away from God in seasons of difficulty.
When we anchor ourselves to God and His promises, the waves can come, the wind can blow, and we will stay put. This is how we survive the storms in life, choosing to be anchored to the Lord by trusting in His promises and taking refuge in who He says He is (Hebrews 6:18-19).
Whatever you are walking through, the Lord is close to you. Look to the Lord and choose to be anchored in who He is. He is entirely faithful and completely trustworthy.
Father God, I place my hope and confidence in You, so I can
be anchored to You when storms come my way. I choose today
to look to and trust in You and the promises You have made.
You are my refuge. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Trust The Unseen Work
Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Plant a seed, and for weeks it looks like nothing is happening. Yet beneath the soil, roots are spreading, and life is forming in ways unseen. Our lives can feel much the same. We pray, we wait, we hope—and nothing seems to change. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder, “Is God really working here?”
Pride Goes Before Destruction
“Pride goes before destruction.” (Proverbs 16:18) Those are sobering words — but they’re also deeply personal. Pride doesn’t always roar; sometimes it whispers, “You’re doing just fine without God.” It convinces us that we’re the main character in our own story, that life works best when we’re in control.
God Is with You in Every Chapter
Have you ever faced a season where nothing seemed to go right? Doors closed. People let you down. Plans crumbled. It’s easy in those moments to ask, “God, where are You?” We often believe the quiet lie that if God is truly with us, life will get easier.
