“Although things seem to be falling apart, even

“Although things seem to be falling apart, even now, in the midst of our worst disarray, the Lord is working to make them fall together for our future good. . . Don’t lose heart now. In your exhaustion, you feel overwhelmed. You want to give up. What you don’t know is that you are close to victory.”

This quote is from Harvest of Gold. Hubby has been re-reading my older books for fun. When I asked him to choose a quote for my Facebook readers, this is the one he picked. I pray it will bless you today.

Did you know you need an anchor point when you create pottery on a wheel? You need to tuck your elbow securely into your thigh so that your hands are steady as you cradle the fragile wet clay, else it may wobble and collapse.

Your arms can’t just be flapping in the wind. They need an anchor. A place to rest. A secure spot that will help them remain unshaken when they grow weary.
Life needs anchor points too.

There are circumstances that will weary you. Shake you. David says because he keeps his eyes always on the LORD, he will not be shaken. (Psalm 16:8) His anchor point, his focus continues to be on that one unshakable place.

Like a potters elbow that keeps tucking into that thigh, you have to repeatedly reset your anchor point into the Lord so that your soul isn’t flapping into the ether of your troubles.

The more tired your are, the more overwhelmed, the more you need to tuck into your anchor point.
