Christ is your Anchor
Isaiah 26:4 " Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord,
we have an everlasting Rock".
Isaiah
describes that God is interested in saving or "rescuing" His people.
God is the head of a very large rescue team, the body of Christ. As team
members, we must have a mature, intimate relationship with our leader and with
each other. Why? Relationship develops
opportunity to learn of each other and develop trust in the ability of each
member of the team and the leader of the team.
As a former firefighter-paramedic I understand when
rescuing someone hanging out the window of a burning building, dangling on the
face of a mountain cliff, or trapped in the confines of a deep shaft, the rope
and anchor to which my harness is tied to must be strong and unmovable.
Isaiah
is telling us that we can rest in the assurance that God is that strong, immovable
rock, our anchor. It is your
responsibility, as part of the team, to know your job, participate in the
training, and respond. You must trust in your
leader (God) and your team mates abilities so those you are called "rescue" are not lost because
of your weakness/fear. God will empower
you! His passion fuels your engine, your
heart, to equip you and sustain you in your role as a member of the body.
Respond
to the call!
Amen brother! Good word.
