There are times when we are perplexed,we seem to lose our spiritual equilibrium and we need someone to help, speaking into our lives to remind us and realize where we are at, what we have, and Whose we are and what we possess in Christ ! At times a bit like trying to walk up sand- dunes using your hands and feet to try and claw your way upwards, you find you have no grip and are sliding and sinking down… and the harder you try the worse the slide… But that to do? Where to go? Aaah… He reminds me of Himself and His Word and for a day gives me a verse to meditate on, a promise to claim and a Friend who understand as He is our dear Empathetic High Priest. He and His truth is to be our grip, security, stability. His Word our solid foundation. Why? Because it is HIS!”The Truth is…” we have a sure “Grip,” an anchor for the storms and temptations.
CONSIDER SOME “ANCHORS OF HOPE,” to Meditate upon, apply, in order to strengthen your mind and stabilize your faith and focus on Him….
We have Access... TO GOD-{Rom 5:1-2}
We have An Advocate… WITH God.- { 1 John 2:1-2}
We have Assurance.. FROM God- {Heb 13:5}
We have the Anchor.., for our soul, WHO IS GOD–{Heb 6:19-20}
We have the Answer.. “Christ in you the hope of glory”-{Col 1:27}
” HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION…”
” How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
Even down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”
