The Anchor
Hebrews 6:19 is actually the very first scripture I have ever did a devotion on when I got saved. I remember I asked God to open my Bible and lead me to where He wants me to read, because I had no idea what I was doing. And this is where He has lead me for the first time in our relationship.
Man I remember that day that it hit me. And this scripture has stuck with me ever since. I was going through a rough time in life, family was getting tough and they didn't like me being at church so much. I hadn't stepped into the nicest looking road when I started my walk with God. It was hard, but that day that I sat and read God called out to me telling me to hold on to hope. He has plans for me. That He will keep me safe and secure and be anchor for my soul. And here I am some years later and this has not changed at all. Walking with God is not easy at all as all of us know. Following command, reaching out, showing love at ALL times, man it gets tough and discouraging. To stay faithful in the desert! But man to hear God call out to us and encourage us, that the hope of Jesus Christ will anchor our souls. That will be a hope I will hold onto.
I was so new when I read this for the first time, so green, but it still has the same meaning as ever. I was going through a tough time then and I go through tough times now. But I love when Jesus reminds me, "Hey I am God. Hold onto your hope. Let it be an anchor for your soul. Hold onto Me for I anchor your soul." I feel so secure when I read that and let it sink into the depths of my heart. I let Jesus in and let Him take over trusting full well He has anchored my soul.
Jesus,
Thank you so much lord. For all that you do for us, for all that you do for me. God trhat you would go before me and you would be my high priest and go to the Father to secure me. God I pray that you would grow deeper with me today. God that you would deepen yourself into the depths of my heart today. Jesus that you would mean more to me today. That we would fall more in love today. Father I pray that in the name of Jesus, you would give me a strength through your Holy Spirit to understand the depth, and width and length and height of the love that you have for me. God that you would just rumble through out my body today. Here is my heart lord, here is my soul and my mind and everything that I am, I give it all to you for you Lord, you alone are my anchor. God you hold me in when I am trying to leave, and you never let me go. God I love you so much and I make that choice today to love you. I love you Jesus, help me to be a lover of you and a lover of people. Help me to humble myself so you don't have to do it for me. I love you Jesus. In Jesus name I pray.
AMEN
