From: My Anchor Holds

By William Martin, 1902 and Daniel Towner, 1902

I can feel the anchor fast
As I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen,
Bears the heavy strain between;
Through the storm I safely ride,
Till the turning of the tide.

And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

Job 42 - Key

v7

And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].

Job spoke of the Lord rightly (even though it does seem from v3 that Job made some mistake). When things are going badly, it's tempting to not speak rightly.

Application

I'll work on saying what I should, even when I'm having a hard time.

bow down to the Lord

Isaiah 2

v11

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

These proud people had been bowing down to idols. Instead, we should be humble and bow to the Lord when we pray to Him.

be willing and obedient

Isaiah 1

v19

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Remember, we can't get ourselves to heaven by the good things that we do. However, that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with trying to do good things! As a matter of fact, we're supposed to. We should work on being willing and obedient.

From: My Anchor Holds

By William Martin, 1902 and Daniel Towner, 1902

Mighty tides about me sweep,
Perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o’ershade the sky,
And the tempest rises high;
Still I stand the tempest’s shock,
For my anchor grips the rock.

And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

From: My Anchor Holds

By William Martin, 1902 and Daniel Towner, 1902

Though the angry surges roll
On my tempest driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
Wildly though the winds may blow,
I’ve an anchor safe and sure,
That can evermore endure.

And it holds, my anchor holds:
Blow your wildest, then, O gale,
On my bark so small and frail;
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds.

cause me to hear

Songs 8

v13

Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

We should pray for the Lord to help us "hear His voice".

From: Marching to Zion

By Isaac Watts, 1707 and Robert Lowry, 1867

Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground,
We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground,
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high.

We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

God loves us

Songs 7

v10

I [am] my beloved's, and his desire [is] toward me.

I know that "God loves us" can sound so old and meaningless, but it shouldn't be, and we should really think about what it means.

I've been working on having a more cheerful look on my face and a more cheerful tone of voice. We can be encouraged about the Lord's love for us.
