The headlines continue to pump out gloom and doom. I know of jobs hanging by a thread.
And we see the angry sea in a world gone topsy-turvy.
The mounting waves threatening to drown salty sprays of discouragement on many already battered households, if not for the seizure which anchors us down.
Maybe you need a strong encouragement.
Maybe you need refuge.
Maybe you need to flee.
Maybe you need to still your worrisome boat by throwing down the only sure weight to your soul.
Lower your lifeline until it enters within the veil, a place sure and steadfast in hope.
Because our Hope became the forerunner who entered on our behalf.
Jesus.
Should all the world fall away, this never will.
The way of flying above the fray is gestating in this which pulls our caterpillar self from the cocoon of Hope and carries it in flight.
"We who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, .." Hebrews 6:18 and 19
Beautiful words, here. Words that stand out against the doom and gloom and shine with hope.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but think of that stirring, timeless song: The Anchor Holds. And so it does ...
