Scripture

Hebrews 6

Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. 19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. 20 Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Observation

My kayak is over at Indian Shores Beach at the moment and tomorrow night I will probably kayak out and fish for a few minutes before it gets dark. Before taking my kayak out to the beach I told Kathy that I had to get an anchor for my kayak because last year while I was out at the beach I had lost my anchor when it got hung up on a man made reef out in the Gulf Of Mexico. Without an anchor you get blown around all over the place and you can’t stay close to the spot where you want to fish. Without an anchor for our souls we too wander through life without hope and without purpose and meaning. We have great confidence, and we have hope because Jesus is our high priest. He is the strong and trustworthy anchor of my soul! He is my refuge.

Application

Through the storms of life Jesus will be the strong and trustworthy anchor of my soul.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for your promises that I find in your Word. Your Word is sharper than any two edged sword and it is powerful and living! Thank you for giving me hope and confidence today. My soul is anchored and is not tossed about because of Jesus. Thank you that I can go directly to you right into your inner sanctuary because Jesus in my high priest and I know that He is praying for me right now. And it is in His Name I pray Amen.
