#soap # Hebrew 06 ## Title: An Anchor For Our Souls ## Scripture: (Hebrews 6:18-19) “so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,” (NET) ## Observation: When a ship wants to stay in one place, they let out the anchor. The anchor is a heavy piece of metal that sinks straight to the bottom of the ocean and catches on something. This anchor point will hold the ship in place. Now, it may not seem like it from the boat. The boat still has room to sway with the water and it may move a little in one direction or another. But, it won’t be blown wildly off course. This is what God does for us in difficult times. He is the anchor for our soul. He doesn’t destroy us or pin us down. He gives us room to breathe, while also gently pulling us back when we get too far off course. ## Application: Anchor your hope in God so you won’t be blown off course in the storms of life. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being a strong foundation and anchor for our lives.
