The condition of every believer in Jesus is very similar to that of the landlubber on board the ship who, when the sea was rather rough, asked, “Captain, we are in great danger, are we not?”  He received no answer, and so said, “Captain, don’t you see great fear?”  Then the old seaman gruffly replied,  “Yes, I see plenty of fear, but not a bit of danger.”  It is often that way with us;  when the winds are blowing and the storms are raging, there is pleny of fear, but there is no danger.  We may be greatly tossed around, but we are quite safe, for we have an anchor of the soul that is both sure and steadfast and will not move.”
