So much has happened since I last wrote to you. I was rereading the opening letter from last month and feeling the hopeful expectation of God moving as we prepared for our 2020 Vision Women’s Conference. And then COVID-19 began surfacing in the news. Here we are multiple days into a quarantine and there is still so much uncertainty swirling around us.
And thus my title, “In Time Like These.” You see, God keeps bringing this hymn to my mind throughout the day. It has so much truth for our present-day circumstances. I’ve provided the lyrics below. Please take the time to read them.
In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Chorus
This Rock is Jesus, Yes He’s the One
This Rock is Jesus, the only One
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
In times like these you need the Bible
In times like these, O be not idle
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Chorus
In times like these I have a Savior
In times like these I have an anchor
I’m very sure, I’m very sure
My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
How do we go from being uncertain to certain? By realizing that we have a Savior. By getting into our Bible to be reminded that His promises are sure. By proclaiming that our anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock of Jesus! He is the One!
This is the message of hope that each of us need in times like these. When we are “very sure” we project the certainty of Jesus to the world who is very uncertain today of what their future holds much less who holds their future! Let’s be women committed to being “very sure” that our anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
Serving with Love,
Elizabeth
