My birthday is lime, which is cool because that’s what I put in a gin and tonic!

[SandRat]

Your Birthday is Maroon

You are the brilliant type. You are studious, knowledgeable, and just plain old smart.
You tend to be persuasive in all aspects of life. You enjoy a good intellectual debate.

You don't have much regard for other people's feelings. You don't fight dirty, but you also don't back down.
You can be incredibly patient and calm. You are an excellent listener and sounding board.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

~ Hi Kathy!

~ Seems I’m Pink ~

You are the dreamy type. You can't help but be an idealist, even if your dreams get crushed from time to time. You have a vision of how the world should be. You work hard to make life easier and better for people.

You are generous. In fact, you give until it hurts and expect nothing in return. You are sometimes disappointed. It's discouraging to have such high hopes when things don't work out.

Anchors In The Storm
May 21, 2014

Read: Joshua 1:1-9

The Lord your God is with you wherever you go. —Joshua 1:9

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 13-15; John 7:1-27

When Matt and Jessica tried to navigate their sailboat into a Florida inlet during Hurricane Sandy, the craft ran aground. As the waves crashed around them, they quickly dropped anchor. It held the sailboat in place until they could be rescued. They said that if they had not put down the anchor, “We would have lost our boat for sure.” Without the anchor, the relentless waves would have smashed the vessel onto the shore.

We need anchors that hold us secure in our spiritual lives as well. When God called Joshua to lead His people after Moses’ death, He gave him anchors of promise he could rely on in troubled times. The Lord said to him, “I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. . . . The Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Josh. 1:5,9). God also gave Joshua and His people the “Book of the Law” to study and observe (vv.7-8). That, and God’s presence, were anchors the Israelites could rely on as they faced many challenges.

When we’re in the middle of suffering or when doubts start threatening our faith, what are our anchors? We could start with Joshua 1:5. Although our faith may feel weak, if it’s anchored in God’s promises and presence, He will safely hold us.

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love. —Owens

When we feel the stress of the storm we learn the strength of the anchor.

Insight

In today’s reading, God encourages Joshua who has recently replaced his predecessor, Moses. God’s past faithfulness to Moses must have brought great comfort to Joshua: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you” (v.5). For us as well, God’s faithfulness in the past brings courage for the future.
