Untethered from her moorings and drifting out to sea,
she looks for her bearings as the darkness descends
and the skies turn from gray to black.
Suddenly, she remembers an ancient map of old
given to her by those of long ago.
She studies the outlines of the distant shores,
wondering if the landscape has changed
and if what was is no more?
“Is this map outdated?” she muses,
as her doubts slowly take the shape of discouragement.
Will the darkness grip more tightly or will she find a way?
The waves begin to grow and loom
as the heart and helm are suspended with fear and indecision.
The ship stalls...and the sailor looks up in a cry to the heavens
for help.
As her tear filled eyes search the night sky for some hope,
a star appears
Evidence of the constant One who so carefully put each of these in place.
The Designer of All gently reassures her heart.
Comfort and direction descend from above and wrap around her like a warm embrace,
as the sweet faithfulness of the God who penned the map and hung the stars
comes more clearly into view
she is drawn to the safety of His shore,
guided by the truth of a Light that always shines.
Leading, loving, and legacy...all wrapped into One.
The Anchor for her soul.
