Anchor

Greetings!!!

Have you ever had a word stuck in your head? For at least a week the word anchor has been rolling around in my head and I have not been able to get to my blog. What is an anchor? I like the New World Dictionary of America English definition: any device that holds something else secure; anything that gives or seems to give stability or security. What is the the anchor in your life? Is it a good job or having enough money in your savings accounts? Perhaps it is in having the right relationships. With just completing the Presidential election in the United States, do you have your anchor in who will run this nation? What is your anchor?

As I listened to my Biblestick, I heard: "When God made His promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for Him to swear by, He swore by Himself, saying, 'I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.' And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. Men swear by someone greater than themselves and the oath confirms what is said and puts and end to all argument. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, He confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that , by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled  to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

No matter how shaky the anchors are in your life, there is an anchor for your soul that is actually able to hold you securely and that truly gives you stability and security. Is your soul secure? It can be. It is as simple as choosing to have a relationship with Jesus Christ the Lord.

The LORD bless you with realizing the security you can have in Him.

I love you,

Ruth
