Anchored With God – Hearing A Call to Stillness

Lord, today I am come seeking to abide in the WORD of Truth, the Living Anchor for my Soul.

Lord God, You alone “still me”!  You alone give ballast to my steps, my “song” within strengthen, when I place my Hands, Heart and Faith in the WORD eternal.

Winds assail us, lies traverse us on all sides, where is our true Hope, our HOPE is the Lord Jesus, Savior of the World

As I step into the awaiting row boat on the Shore, will I embrace your “Call” to “Abide” to “Be Still”, trusting in Your Faithfulness.  Fleeing the chaos of my own design, when I fail to pause, look up, remember, the WORDS through the Prophet Jeremiah….believing, surrendering all that is within me again today.

My faith tied to your WORD not the fringes of the heartstrings within my soul.  Bruised, tossed, as I traversed the waves, the galling winds of time, change and loss, ragging clatter of distraction, yet  Your Hand faithfully cupped my heart, calling ever calling me to “BE STILL”.

I honestly believed “How is that Logical Lord”!!!

Yet in Your Divine Mercy, I kept hearing Your “call”…..could it be, could God be calling me to “Be Still”??

My heart “shivers” inside, ever seeking solace from the “stunning”  scratches, chips, echo’s of uncertainty, derailing, deterring, with no time to “process”; or to gain ballast.

Within the known walls of the my own Harbors, the shorelines had become skewed, nets of uncertainty, like deep fog, reduce my inner vision.  My “song” my “dance” within seemed lost  Yet when  I turned my direction, there was  movement around me, not viewable to the naked eye, yet ever so present.

A Strong yet gentle, quite direct movement stirring within, as a ships rudder.  You “called” I failed to hear.  I was again avoiding, a deep longing; to step away from my need to capture understanding, a grander unfolding of life in the “moments” is unveiling.  Beyond, my need to grasp, to control, an unveiling of God’s presence embraces my inner vision.

You Lord, had, have new horizons to set my sails on, some within my near reach, and some, that I know, I will need to remain pliable, open, with an obedient heart fastened to God’s Anchor, Your Holy Word.

Thank you Lord, you have re-kindling my fading embers within, and never left my side, wherever I walked, wandered, or became lost in.  In truth, its been one of the hardest years of my Life, yet too often this weary traveler, took my eyes off the Light of the World, unknowingly seeking to be “heard, seen” just be held.  When all the while, I know in my heart You where waiting patiently for me to “Be Still” drawing closer as you held both my heart and my hand when they trembled within.

You Lord, the Author of Life, the one who calls the “Waves” in the Storm to be Still, have been calling me to “Listen” to “Listen” to Your call to “Be Still and know that You are God”…..

Amen Lord Amen.
