This
Hope
Is
a Strong
And
Trustworthy Anchor For Our Souls.
Scripture
Hebrews
6
18 So God
has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are
unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. 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
Hebrews
6 shares with us one thing that is impossible for God to do: It is
impossible for God to lie!
God
is our refuge! We can go to Him with great confidence. We can hold on
to the hope that lies before us.
Why
can be be so confident?
Because
our God has given us thousands of promises in His Word and every
single promise will come true - because He says so - and it is
impossible for Him to lie!
Everyday,
as soon as I wake up, I go to His Word and everyday my God provides
promises for me to hold on to that get me through the day. If you and
I are not reading God's Word everyday we will be weak and the least
little thing will get us off track and will cause us to drift away
from God.
I
have learned that my little anchor that I have for my 14' fishing
kayak is not big enough to keep me securely anchored in one place; if
there is too much wind or if the current is too strong I will quickly
drift either out into the Gulf or way down the beach!
So
when I am out in the Gulf of Mexico I always keep my eyes out for
approaching storms. I have zero confidence in my little kayak anchor
(or my kayak) during a storm, but I do have a strong and trustworthy
anchor for my soul … do you?
And
on a side note, we are back home from a very good week at the beach
and “Walter” the giant fish eluded me again ... so he is still
out there … maybe next year!
Application
I
will hold on to all of God's promises as I face the uncertainities of
the week ahead! How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me an anchor for my soul. I have
confidence in You. You give me hope. Everyday I am reminded just how
much You love me by all of Your promises in Your Word. Don't ever
let me stop reading the Bible. Don't let me miss a day! Thank You for
answering my prayers. Thank You for being with me 24/7! When I woke
up this morning You were on my mind.
I
pray for the sick. I pray for healing. I pray for those who are
mourning the loss of a loved one. Give them strength. Comfort them
Lord. Show Your compassion on them. May they sense Your love and Your
presence and Your Power today.

Bible Reading: Micah 1,2,3,4; Hebrews 6
