It leads us through the curtain into God\u2019s inner sanctuary.<strong> Hebrews\u00a06:18-19<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The writer of Hebrews chose the symbol of the anchor to speak about the truthfulness of God\u2019s Word, the certainty of his promises, and the integrity of who He is. Abraham proved a great example. When the Lord gave Abraham the promise of being the father of all fathers, to give him many descendants, God not only promised; he underlined the promise by swearing an oath by himself\u2014for no greater oath was possible\u2014that he would do as he promised. And eventually he did! This faith Abraham exercised was counted unto him as righteousness.<\/p>\n<p>Our lives are shaped by the pounding waves of life. Yet we remain unshakable because we are anchored to the One who is able to keep us from falling.\u00a0How thankful we should be for the blessed anchor of hope in our God!
