Anchored in the Lord Erica F Brooks

"Anchored In The Lord" Devotional, Faith Confessions & Prayers Whenever God tries to promote us, it is in our nature to pick up the phone, grab friends and pull family by the hand. In most cases, we help our loved ones pack their bags for the journey. Why? Most Believers whole-heartedly desire for others to be ?promoted? with us. So we gather our friends and family and they all board our ship; yet, we find ourselves frustrated because some people are rowing (pushing us closer to your purpose) while others are anchors (stopping progress). Webster?s Dictionary defines an anchor as, ?A heavy weight that keeps an entire ship at a standstill.? Interesting? why do we get frustrated with the anchors? Why are we surprised that some of our friends and yes, even family are anchored in their own agenda, anchored in old mindsets and will never row the boat if it means helping someone else (including you) advance? Don?t get upset! Perhaps you didn?t follow God?s instructions? ?The LORD said to Abram (You), ?Go from your country, your people and your father?s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:1-3? We cannot take everyone to the next level with us. Our loyalty has to be to God and HIS word first. Continuing to carry dead weight can make us miss our blessing. Do you want the blessings of Abraham? ?Be Anchored In The Lord?
