We have this hope
as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure.
Hebrews 6:19

Have you ever felt that life is like an ocean?  Sometimes there are nice smooth sailing waters and other times life can be a storm with waves crashing over us. This verse from Hebrews reminds us that through all the calm and stormy seas of life we have an anchor for our soul that gives us hope. That anchor is Jesus.

The reason He can anchor our soul and bring us hope is because no matter what goes on in this life, He has secured eternity for those who trust in Him. And in eternity we are promised that there will be no more pain, sorrow or suffering - even death is defeated.

Not only that, but the evil and wrongs of this world are dealt with. And so this is the hope that anchors us.  As we go through the storms of this life, if our trust is in Jesus then He becomes the anchor for our souls, as we wait for a day when sin, suffering and death are no more.

And as we wait He is with us in the storms, carrying us along, strengthening us, and giving us grace to get through each day.
