In life, we also have anchor points. And we get to decide what they are. That is called free will. And that is one of the most amazing gifts that God has given us. The ability to choose. Where we place our anchor point can be a vital determining factor on which path we take. Because it\u2019s part of where we aim our lives. The direction that we\u2019re going to go. Here\u2019s something interesting about anchor points. Years ago, archers defined the distance the arrow missed its mark as sin. It didn’t matter if it was just barely off the mark or completely off target. It was still sin. So they had a whole different meeting for anchor points. Today, in our spiritual life, we need to have Jesus as our anchor point. And here\u2019s why\u2026Satan will put things in our path to cause us to miss our mark. In this case, missing our mark is sin. And sin can keep us away from God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Satan\u2018s key tactics against us is fear. He uses our fears against us. Because if we begin to fear, then we might begin to doubt that God exists. And if we do that, there are two sins that we have committed. Being fearful. And doubting. These are human. And they are going to happen. But we can\u2019t let them dictate how we view our Lord and Savior. We can\u2019t let them dictate our relationship with our Lord and Savior. If he is our anchor point, they cannot win us over. Men that have had children understand what being a father means. Our children look at us for security. Our children look at us for strength. They \u201cneed\u201d us to be their anchor points. Just as we need God to be ours. He wants us to look to him for security. He wants us to look to him for strength. Do you see the parallels? So today, just as archers practice securing their shots, let\u2019s practice securing our lives by placing God first and foremost. Let\u2019s practice strengthening our lives by placing God first and foremost. If we make sure God is our anchor point, then that\u2019s exactly what will happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
