I spent some time at the beach last week.

 

A series of buoys marked the boundary for safe swimming. I watched the waves crash in from every direction and batter those buoys. 

 

They were anchored, though. 

 

We have an anchor. Hebrews 6:19 says "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast."

 

What hope? The promise God made to redeem us and bless us.

 

The waves will come against us.

 

We are anchored.

 

And the anchor will hold. God promised it would.
