An anchor is something that holds a boat in place. Once the captain arrives at a destination he drops the anchor. He does this because the boat will drift without an anchor.
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
Hebrews 6:19
As a believer we have access to the anchor called “Hope” because of what Jesus has done for us! God always keeps his word! As believers we are anchored to the hope that God is in complete control. We may drift for a moment, but hope pulls us back to where we are called to be.
An anchor has no value if you don’t drop it in the water!
God is for you. He is with you in every season. He has not forgotten you, you may just be in a storm right now. It’s time to drop the anchor of hope! How do we drop the anchor of hope?
Reach Out
If you are in a storm now is not the time to disconnect yourself from God and people. In storms it is easy to feel isolated. When you are drifting you can get discouraged so quickly. This is the time to reach out to God and to others! Reach out to someone that you were in small group with! Reach out to someone who can pray with you! Reach out to God. Don’t get caught drifting. When you feel overwhelmed reach out to God and then reach out to God’s people!
Speak the Promise
The enemy does everything he can do to lie to you about who you are and what this situation is going to bring about in your life. He wants you to drift in the storm without an anchor. He is intimidating you because victory is near! One of the ways that we drop is the anchor is to speak God’s promises over our lives every day, especially when we are in a storm. What are you speaking over yourself right now? Speak God’s truth over your life and watch as the anchor of hope begins to pull you back into a place of hope!
Here is a link to 50 promises of God you can speak over your life today!
Drop the anchor today! Lean into Jesus. He is our anchor of hope!
