Holding power. A term used to describe the power of an anchor’s ability to withstand the whistling wind and waves. But how does such a small device arrest such a large force?<\/p>\n

Not found in its size or weight, the stabilizing ability of this hook to anchor a boat in the tossing turmoil of the stormy sea hinges on its ability to engage and penetrate the seabed. A\u00a0mere 5-pound anchor can withhold a 1000 pound boat.<\/p>\n

One look at the world around instantly reminds us of the raging storm \u2014 a whistling sea, calling us away from the security of our ship-steering Sailor.<\/p>\n

Much like a boat at sea, if our anchor is not engaging the seabed of a heavenly perspective, we stand the chance of being tossed, lost, and thrown overboard.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our ability to withstand a turbulent world doesn’t rest in our “size or weight” but in the holding power of our Anchor. As we head into a busy season with surmounting demands, we must sink our anchor in His Word, His will, His wisdom, His worship, and His work.<\/p>\n
