An Anchor to the Soul

Hebrews 6:19 says, "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." We have been promised salvation through Jesus Christ if we would only believe in Him. This is the hope that the writer of Hebrews is talking about. The Bible says to us that "the hope of glory is Christ in us." An anchor is an instrument used by sailors and fishermen to hold the ship in place while they are stopped on the waters. It is used when they desire to take rest from moving on the seas. It digs into the sea floor beneath them and keeps them steady. In the same way, our hope in Christ is meant to keep us steady. We should not be afraid or doubtful. We should not worry or become anxious. Our hope is an anchor. The Bible says here in Hebrews 6:18, "God cannot lie." That is how the anchor digs into the earth and keeps us steady. We have to realize that God is not like us. We will lie if backed into a corner. Those around us will lie to make us feel better or safe. God is not like that. He will never lie to us. If we are in danger because of the life we are living, He is going to let us know. If we are safe in His arms, then He will hold us tight. He will never lie to us. We must overcome our trust issues and believe in Him. We must let go of past hurts from lies that have been told, and let His truth become an anchor to our soul. God bless
