It's is nice in the harbour, even on a foggy day. The colours may be muted, but it is still a pretty place to be. A harbour by nature is a shelther from the storm.I was at a church service this week and the question was asked, "What are you hungry for?"
During the service I could picture a fishing vessel heading out of the harbour into the open water, bobbing up and down with seagulls flying around.
Out in the open it is not so safe. The water is much deeper and the wind much stronger, but the water is much fresher. Am I hungry to go deeper with God? Am I willing to get knocked around by the storms of life because of what I believe? Am I willing to put my faith into action? Is God really my anchor in the sea of suffering?
Maybe you are just coming into the harbour from being battered around out there. Welcome, enjoy your stay and get refreshed, repaired, restored and whatever else you need to do. You can take my berth, I've been in the harbour far too long.

I don't think I am quite ready to drop anchor yet. I mean I believe that the Captain of my ship has a few more ports to visit, I could be wrong but I doubt it. Sometimes we need to weather storms on the sea of life but just as sure as there are storms, we have that anchor to hold us true Jesus. Just like the song says, "sometimes He calms the storm" Just hold fast to that anchor and He will guide you through......... at least thats the way I see it from the crows nest..
Comments! Comments! You have the never to ask me to leave a comment when I can't even log into my own blog! Hmmmm what is going on with blogspot. I am going to try and log in through my own blog. It might be crazy enough to work.
Hey Kevin! You might want to check your spelling before you post something. "Nerve" is not spelt, "never". This isn't instant messaging, so no excuses for mispelled words.
