Seize the Hope~The Anchor holds

“Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil; where the Forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”
Hebrews 6:17-20

Here are some pictures of types of anchors.

Nearly all anchors I studied had three points. To me as I read the above scripture it speaks of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The design of an anchor, is to hold a vessel firmly to one place when winds and currents would otherwise remove it. God has given us certain Truths which are intended to hold our minds fast to truth, holiness, perseverance–in a word, to hold us to Himself. But why hold the vessel? The first answer which would suggest itself would be to keep it from being wrecked. The ship may not need an anchor in calm waters, when upon a broad ocean a little drifting may not be a very serious matter. But there are conditions of weather in which an anchor becomes altogether essential. When a gale is rushing towards the shore, blowing great guns and the vessel cannot hold her course and must surely be driven upon an iron-bound coast, then an anchor is worth its weight in gold!

The song on the You Tube below has a very moving story, and I will post that story next week.

ACTION STEP: Stay with me as I share with you more on the scripture above and all that I learned in my studies for the Women's Conference I recently did in Colorado. I learned so much in my studies, I now realize through all of the abandonment I experienced and lived through the anchor held me. I want the world to know the same anchor that held me is available to all the vessels in their own storm, right now. Jesus is our anchor. He is seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for me and you. The worst the storm rages the deeper the anchor goes to bring stability and safety to our life. Tomorrow, find out the importance of why the anchor is always some distance from the ship.

I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.
