“A Strong and Trustworthy Anchor for Our Souls” - August 30, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, August 30 - “A Strong and Trustworthy Anchor for Our Souls” Good morning, Lord Jesus. My Rock and Refuge, my Strong Tower and Savior, I look to You and call on Your name to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ... “So God has given both His promise and His oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 6:19-20). How we need You to be our Refuge. How we need You to be our Hope -- “a strong and trustworthy Anchor for our souls.” Right now in our world, hurricane winds come to devour our cities. Winds of terror come to devour our peace. Winds of confusion come to devour our sanity. Even winds of doctrine come to rattle our faith. But Your Words still stand, “Peace. Be still” (Mark 4:39). “Be still and know that I AM God” (Psalm 46:10). There may be winds of change in our world, but You are the same. You are the One who never changes. Yours is the Word that’s always Right, always True, “Strong and Trustworthy,” never fading with time, never diminishing in power. You are the Word from the beginning; You are the Word who will never end; and You are the Word who is with us now and always (John 1:1). For You are “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Word of God, speak into my spirit today. Bring me “through the curtain” of uncertainty in all the winds and troubled times that swirl around me. Through trust and surrender, through worship and prayer, through the grace of Your embrace in the intimate communion of Your Presence here in the “inner sanctuary” of my heart, speak to me, strengthen me, empower me to be still and trust in You.  Keep me grounded in Your Word (Matthew 4:4). Keep me filled with Your Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). This is my Rock. This is My Refuge. This is my Anchor of Hope. For You are my Rock, my Refuge, my Anchor of Hope -- My Lord and my God in whom I trust. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be steady and secure, through all the winds blowing against you and swirling around you, trusting in the One who is the strong and trustworthy Anchor of your soul, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend! Tommy & Rocio Hays | Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: Messiah Ministries 412 S.
