Hope in the Stormنموونە

Security.

Have you ever used an anchor? Have you been out on a boat and thrown an anchor overboard to hold the boat steady, to prevent you from drifting, or protect you in a storm?

The Bible says the hope God offers us through Jesus is an anchor for our souls. And this hope is firm and secure. Why do we need an anchor for our souls?

You probably know the answer to that question. It’s obvious. When life's troubles come – the storms, the heartaches – and they will come, what will hold our souls from being overcome with hopelessness? With anxiety, discouragement, fear?

We need hope that goes beyond what we see and experience at the time. A steady hope. A hope that goes beyond the winds of change. This is the hope God offers through His Son, Jesus, and this hope is a secure anchor.
