Today's encouragement comes from Hebrews 6:19a, where we read these words:
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast . . . “In a world where every force of evil conspires against us, to seek to shake us off from our faith in the True God—it is incredibly encouraging for us to be as-sured that our hope is anchored to an immovable Rock (Christ). This hope is firmly affixed to God's immutable (unchangeable) promise (v. 15); and it is supported by the fact that He "cannot lie," (v. 18).
Even as in the case of a ship that is tethered to an anchor, it is certainly pos-sible for us to be "tossed and turned" a bit in this life—but even then, we are never lost. The anchor holds us fast. The "rope" which attaches us to our An-chor (Christ), is miraculous and regenerating faith.
