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.
