“I come by a harbor one time and seen that. We was flying in a plane, was a great…coming down low, there was a big old ship there. The sails had been let down, you know. And, oh, what a storm on the sea! My, she was tossing. And I seen that old ship setting there, rocking back and forth. And some waves it would go in, and some waves it would go under, and everything. I said, “Wonder why that is?”

And the fellow sitting, said, “It’s got a sea anchor on it, therefore,” said, “the ship can’t sink.” Said, “It can go through the wave, but it can’t sink,” said, “because it’s anchored.”

I said, “Oh, praise be to God!”

We got an anchor. Some waves we can go over, some we go under, but, regardless, the…if the anchor holds! It isn’t the ship doing the holding; it’s the anchor doing the holding. It isn’t what I am, or what I will be, or what I was; it’s what He is now, and what He did for me and you. It ain’t what I can do, it’s what He has done.” WMB
