Hope Is An Anchor!

The last few verses of Hebrews 6 speak of a hope that will serve as an anchor of our soul. We certainly need this anchor today! Issues all around us are militantly working to keep us in a state of agitation ans hopelessness.

This "hope" is the promised future which is ours in Christ! A future that is free of sin, sickness, travails of life, and all of the issues that strive to rob us of our peace today.

We are told to "lay hold" upon this hope- to seize it, as a drowning person would grasp a life line. This requires of us a conscious choice and effort. We must press through all of the obstacles that would detract us from the Lord, and place our trust fully in Him.

As we allow Him to do so, the Lord will establish this hope firmly in our souls, and this hope will be a stabilizing factor when the storms of life rage against us!

This sounds like something worth pursuing to me!

How is your hope today? Do you have a blessed assurance that all will ultimately work together for your good? Or, are you tossed about with fears and doubts regarding he future?

Jesus says "Come unto me.... and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28).

May hope and peace be your portion as you walk in His will for your life.

God bless.
