THE ANCHOR OF OUR HOPE

READ:

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.
-Hebrew 6:19

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 91-93
Roman 15:1-13

Frank, Ted, and I were fishing for bluegill on Rice Lake in Ontario, Canada. We were on a pontoon boat, and the fish were really biting. Busy baiting and looking, we slowly became aware that the action had slacked off. Then we realised why: The boat was no longer sitting where we had put it. A strong wind had come up and pushed it across the water. The anchor could not hold us and was sliding across the lake bottom. We hauled it up, returned to our hot spot and re-anchored. We were moved away again. After a third try, we went back to shore. We could not get our anchor to grab and stick.
When it comes to our salvation, our hope is anchored in the promise of God and the work of Jesus Christ. The wind and the waves of doubt, discouragement, and spiritual attack by the evil one can cause us to think that we are adrift and salvation from God is not secure. Not so! God has given his promise that our salvation is sure and he cannot lie (Heb 6:18-19). Our hope is securely fastened in Jesus Christ who redeemed us once and for all when he died, rose again, and ascended to heaven.
Our anchor is the rock unmovable - Jesus Christ. His limitless love holds us sure and steadfast - David Egner
We have anchor that keeps the soul,
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the rock which cannot move
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love - Owen

Our anchor is the Rock, Jesus Christ.

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
