Don’t Forget the Anchor

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,

Hebrews 6:19

Ships, whether they be a “jon-boat” for fishing or an aircraft carrier ensuring national defense, benefit from an anchor.

The anchor of our soul is our salvation in Jesus Christ. Three quick thoughts on this anchor:

• When life is peaceful and calm we have a tendency to forget the need of the anchor to keep our ship safe, and our vessel can gradually float and into hidden dangers. We meander away from fellowship with the Saviour, having no felt need of him.
• Like a real anchor, we realize our need of Christ most when we are facing storms in life.
• When we do not have our anchor set, when we are not sure and stedfast by hope in Christ, we are driven about by turbulent circumstances. (James 1:6)

-C.R.

Bonus thought: human relationships are not anchors.
