Hope


The Anchor of Your Soul

Does hope seem as distant to you as the horizon across the ocean? Are you wondering whether you can ever regain the stability of hope in your life?

The popular understanding of hope is quite different from the powerful truth about hope that is taught in Scripture. If you lean on the contemporary meaning, you will experience a hit and a miss. Sometimes what you hope for will come about, and at other times it won’t. But the believer’s hope is based on the Bible – the unchanging Word of God. When you feel unsure of yourself, the scriptural truths provide all the security you will ever need. In them, you will find your hope.

The first thing to keep in mind is that hope is not a feeling, but rather a gift to you from God – hope is His anchor that He has already thrown out to stabilize your heart and life.
