Hope is an anchor for your soul-firm and secure

A ship in turbulent waters needs to drop anchor in a safe place. In stormy weather, a large ship may be unable to enter the safety of a harbor because of the wild waves buffeting the boat. So a smaller boat may be used to carry the ship’s anchor through the breakers into the harbor. When the anchor is dropped there, the ship is secured-even though it is still in rough waters. This is a picture of how hope keeps your soul-the eternal part of you-safe and secure in the midst of life’s storms. To be effective, your hope must be solidly in Me, the Savior-God who died to pay the penalty for your sins. After I was crucified, My miraculous resurrection empowered Me to be your living Hope. In fact, I am more abundantly alive than you can begin to imagine. When your hope is connected to Me, you share in My vibrant, eternal Life. Someday you will have a glorified body like Mine! Meanwhile, be assured that your hope-anchor keeps you secure even in life’s fiercest storms.

We [who are holding on to the hope of God’s salvation promises] have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. -Hebrews 6:19-20

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. -1 Peter 1:3”

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. -Hebrews 10:23 nkjv

Why are you in despair, O my soul?

And why have you become disturbed within me?

Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.
