An Anchor of the Soul
“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” Hebrews 6:19
A ship in a storm does not survive by being strong. It survives by being held. The writer of Hebrews knew that, and so he describes our hope this way: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast."
An anchor does not do its work on the deck of the ship. It goes down out of sight and takes hold of something that will not move. Our hope is like that. It "entereth into that within the veil," into the very presence of God, where Jesus has gone ahead of us as "the forerunner." I love that word. He went in first so that my hope would have somewhere to hold.
The verses before tell us why it holds. God confirmed His promise "by an oath," so that "by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation." His promise and His oath. Neither one can change, so the anchor cannot drag. I have leaned on that when everything else in my life was dragging.
I am thankful my hope is not anchored to my circumstances, which shift every week, nor to my feelings, which shift every hour. It is anchored to Jesus, who is already inside the veil.
The storm may be blowing hard in your life this morning. The anchor is not in the storm. It is fastened in heaven, and it is holding.
