"Anchor up, tow me out of this pit I'm dreading. Turn this vessel's path around."
"Headed" by downhere
We need to understand that we accept the pulling of the Spirit, and we seek the gift of salvation from Christ, and we decide to accept that gift into our lives. And when we do that, we gain a more powerful engine than just the sad little trolling motor that we are born with. All of a sudden, we have a massive engine on the back that allows us to move away from the trap of sitting still and doing nothing. It is an engine filled with God's power... not our own.
"I look above, I'm in love with the pace You're setting! From this stream we're ocean bound."

You see, we got into the stream, but were unable to even navigate that on our own. Imagine if we had made it to the ocean without the power of God within us! Or, better still, do you suppose we were in that ocean, and the waves forced us into this stream because we couldn't possibly keep up? Think about it...
"And I know for sure I'm headed straight for the edge, 'cause that's just where You are!"
"Headed" by downhere
We are charged with heading straight for the edge of the line, standing firm for Christ and the Gospel, regardless of what is brought to us in the world. And as things come to us that will undoubtedly seem negative at times, never doubt that God can use anything for His will and purpose. He can use ANYTHING for good! But if we never give Him the chance... if we cower in the corner and refuse to step forward and allow Him to tow us into the deeper waters... then what kind of spirit are you operating under (2 Timothy 1:7)? Are you showing the trust you should in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5-6)? The question is, have you raised your anchor yet?
Remember: 'Cause that's just where You are!
God bless you all!!!
