“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…”
An anchor has two jobs. Hold
the boat in place, and keep it facing the right direction.
The anchor of hope in this
scripture is not our deeds, or good works.
It is the promise God made to those who run to Him.
His promise is what gives us
hope, and that anchors our souls.
No matter what storm you face,
God’s promise can hold you.
The promise is deliverance based
on the Cross, not our deeds. I
am not a “good person”, I am a “redeemed person” and that anchor will hold firm
based on His work not mine.
As the hurricanes of life
approach, I face the storm and drop anchor.
Secure and unmoved knowing the power that guards my soul is greater than
the storm that threatens it.
As your storm hits, hold
on to your hope. Be focused and determined, but not
afraid. Don’t run from it. Your soul is tethered to the Cross and it is
immovable.
Turn and face the waves, trust your anchor, and wait on God.
There are calm seas just
outside of this squall, and when the storm has passed the clear skies will
reveal that your anchor held. Rest in the fact that His promise is stronger than your problem.
“I hear both the violent
turbulence of the storm, and the quiet promises of God in the storm. And what I
must remember is that something is not stronger simply because it’s louder.”
