Anchors for your soul (3) - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2024

‘I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me.’ Acts 27:25 NIV

Third, anchored by God’s promises. The third anchor that gives us confidence in a crisis is found in Paul’s words, ‘So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me’ (Acts 27:25 NIV). If you have ever been betrayed by an unfaithful spouse, you may have lost trust in marriage. If you’re a victim of the mortgage crisis, you may have lost your home and your trust in the financial industry. If you voted for someone you believed had integrity only to discover they were in the pocket of special interest groups, you may have lost your trust in government. But never ever lose trust in the promises of God! Look in the face of your storm today and sing the words of this famous hymn by Russell Carter: ‘Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling winds of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God, I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God.’ You may lose your cargo, you may lose your ship, you may even go overboard—but you’re going to prevail because of God’s promises to you. As the old saying goes, ‘God said it, I believe it, and that settles it!’. If you’re in crisis today, here are some Bible promises you can stand on: ‘The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, “Destroy them!”’ (Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV). ‘You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great’ (Psalm 18:35 NASB20). ‘Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will carry you! I have done it, and I will bear you; And I will carry you and I will save you.’ (Isaiah 46:4 NASB20).
