Perspective: Learning How to Anchor Well through Years of Storms
Click here to play today’s new podcast episode.
Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. Matthew 7:25
Jesus warned us that storms would come. He even allowed His disciples to experience “a furious squal” (Mark 4:35-41) to come upon them so that they thought they would drown. He warned of life storms so that we would not be surprised. But He also promised that if we built on the solid rock of His word and trusted in the unshakeable nature of His goodness, that we would not fall.
Because He cares so much for us, He wanted us to know what to expect ahead of time so that we would not be discouraged. As a young believer, inexperienced, it took me a long time to learn the ways of weathering by anchoring myself on His Word, His goodness, His love.
Perspective is a wisdom that comes through experience. We see things differently because of the long view of life and what transpires over decades. Today, I was so blessed to have the opportunity to talk to Kate Battistelli, as a seasoned woman, who adds so much grace to her words and gives so much wisdom and hope.
Tomorrow is the day of the official launch of this book. We will have lots of fun and giveaways this week. I hope that many of you will find hope, comfort and companionship and ultimately a deeper love for Christ at you read Help, I’m Drowning. He is my rock, my pearl of great price, my shepherd, my friend, my king.
Join me today as 1:00 Mountain time for a fun Instagram live with my friend, Leahvboden.
Happy Monday, Friends.
