When a ship is in a harbor and a storm approaches, the captain drops the anchor. The anchor is heavy. It disappears into the dark water. You can’t see it. But once it hooks into the seabed, the ship is safe. The waves may toss the vessel, but it will not be carried out to sea.

Your soul needs an anchor. The Bible says we have a hope that enters "behind the veil."

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus...” Hebrews 6:19-20

You are the ship in the uncertainty of time. Jesus is the Anchor, secured in eternity.

He is our Forerunner. In ancient culture, a forerunner ran ahead to announce that the King was coming. His presence in the palace guaranteed the arrival of the one behind him. Jesus has already entered the Holy of Holies. Because He is there, you are tethered to that reality.

You may feel the storm right now or the sway of bad news. But you will not be lost. You are hooked into heaven.

You are stable here because you are anchored there.
