Devotional by Barbara Sanders
Hebrews 6:19 which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
A storm arises, and the ship is caught at sea, tossing and
turning in the high waves. The only thing that will save that ship is an
anchor, hopefully steadying it until the storm ceases.
We are like that ship in this world, being tossed to and
fro, needing something to steady our walk. The gospel 'HOPE' is our anchor for
this steadiness and surety in the Lord. The grace of God and the influence of
the Holy Spirit are the grounds of this hope. God is the object of this HOPE we
have.
Without this HOPE, Jesus Christ, we are lost out in the
world today, being pushed and shoved, going nowhere fast! We struggle to make
it through, to make ends meet, to have a life, to have peace, yet we still have
a longing that nothing in this world can ease.
If you don't have the assurance of this anchor in your life,
why not consider coming to Christ today? Why not give your life to God, by
asking him for forgiveness of your sins, believing that he is GOD, that he died
on the cross for your sins, that he was buried, arose again in 3 days, and now
is at the right hand of the Father, ready to make intercession for you. Turn
your life over to Him, putting your faith and trust in Him, that he will take
you and mold you into what he'd have you be. You can then take solace in the fact
that you now have the ANCHOR that will surely hold, no matter how much you are
tossed and turned!
Lord, we thank you for the anchor of hope we have, serving
you in this world. We know that one day we will spend eternity with you, never
again having to face the sea of life again, to be tossed to and fro in the
waves of life. For those that haven't made the commitment to you, lay
conviction in their hearts, that they will desire to come to know you as their
anchor. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
