Holding On
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast... Hebrews 6:19a
Recommended Reading Hebrews 6:10-19
During the flooding that submerged much of Nashville earlier this year, one man was saved by prayer and a tree. The Cumberland River rose so quickly that the street where Bob Williams lived became an instant island. The waters engulfed homes near his, and most of the residents were evacuated. Someone left Bob a boat, but as he tried to get to safety, the engine stalled. It was dark, the rain was torrential, and the water was rising. His little boat was carried toward the rampaging black waters, which would have likely meant death. He cried to the Lord, and then the next moment Bob floated by a small tree. Reaching out, he locked his arms around that tree; and there he stayed, sitting in the little boat and grasping the tree, until rescuers came.
In times of storms and in seasons of distress, God always gives us a passage of Scripture around which we can get our arms. If you're drifting toward an unhealthy or frightening place, find a biblical promise and hang onto it. God's Word is an anchor for your soul.
The promises of God are His guarantees amid life's uncertainties. They're the basis of all our life of faith. David Jeremiah
