Hebrews 6: 18-20We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline (an anchor), reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.
We like to believe we are pretty well anchored. That it will take a major life storm to get us off course. I found today that’s not true, at least not for me. What should have been relatively minor events of the day, today left me upset and shaken.
There is a real danger in not dealing with the minor irritations that come every day, as they occur. If we fail to do that, they are piling up somewhere and will jump up and bite us when we least expect it.
It’s a good thing that the sureness of our foundation and the tightness of our anchor lines are tested. Without such tests we don’t know we need more faith, to hold on harder, to give Him more control.
Remind yourself today where your hope is. Beware if you find yourself trusting in anything else or anyone else. Take a peek in your “issues” bag and deal with anything you find in it.
He is the same yesterday and today and forever. We’re not so constant. If we think we’re doing great, we’re probably not.
