FIRM, SECURE, ANCHORED

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become  a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 6:19-20

There are at least two reasons for an anchor that I can think of. One, to keep the boat from just floating away. Two, to keep the boat in place during a storm. In the same way our faith in Christ keeps us from floating all over the place, pulled away by false hopes and firmly holding our faith on Christ when the storms of life seek to toss us against the shore and wreck our faith. 

Christ, is our high priest, anchoring us in him, forever. Remember, God, who is eternal, chose to send his Son to die on our behalf and to be our High Priest. He anchors us in him, keeping us firm and secure. His work, his intercession for us, is forever. 

Father, thank you for Jesus, that he is my High Priest. Help me to be anchored in him by faith. Praise be to you in us today!

SECURE IN HIS UNFAILING LOVE: PSALM 48:8-9

"As we have heard,            
     so have we seen
 in the city of the LORD Almighty,
     in the city of our God;
     God makes her secure forever.
 Within your temple, O God,
     we meditate on your unfailing love."
 Psalm 48:8-9

Father, today we thank you for your unfailing love and the security being in You brings. Praise be to you in us today!
