Anchored to the Rock
Filed Under Devotional
I’m beginning to think that the only thing more dangerous to my spiritual walk than being busy, is being busy with stuff I love. I find myself in a situation now where I have too much work and all of it is for projects I’m really enjoying. I’m learning new things and expanding my skill set by the day. I’m also playing with new toys and pushing for deadlines. These are all the things I love about my line of work.
But, the temptation to cut short my time with family and my time with God is creeping back in. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit is helping me spot it right away. And, fortunately, lessons learned in the past are being called to mind so I don’t forget the consequences of neglecting these relationships.
When you lose your bearings, hang on to your anchor, your rock:
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25
It is never a good idea to stray from the Rock. It’s Murphy’s Law that this is precisely when the storms will come.
Stay close to the Rock. Don’t be enticed away, no matter how good it looks. Anything without God as the anchor is not worth your time.
