Hope is an Anchor

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain” - Hebrews 11:6

An anchor for the soul...While tremendous storms create troubled waters tossing the ship to and fro, the anchor is released, sinking to the ocean depths. Thud.  It reaches bottom, the chain tensions, and the boat is steadied. Our Hope in the Lord creates a firm and secure steadying effect on our lives during troubled and anxious times. 

The inner sanctuary... This is the place in the Jewish Temple where God dwelt, a  holy and sacred place. Our hope in the Lord draws us to a personal and intimate relationship with God, where we can know Him and be known by Him.
