Anchored

Trust is a touchy subject for a lot of people. Some have absolutely no problem with the concept until they have a reason to no longer have hope in trust. May it be in relationships, friendships, or even God, trust is something that can be hard to get back once it is lost.

When relationships go wrong, some people blame God. When you lose your job, some people blame God. When someone close to you dies, some people blame God. When something goes wrong...some people blame God. Why is it that we blame God when we know how much he loves us?

God has proven himself in situation after situation that we can fully put our trust in him. Examples lie in Noah and the Flood, and Abraham with Isaac. We are even reminded that God has made a promise to us...that we may spend eternity with him in heaven because he sent his One and Only Son to die for us. Everything happens for a reason, and no matter what happens, the final destination remains the same if we keep our trust in him. No matter how dangerous the storm may seem, if our trust stays with him, our souls, our hearts, will stay anchored to him. 

Life is full of storms. Some may be light, but others can really break down someone's soul. Hebrews 6:19 says:

"This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary."

Way back when, a curtain hung between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, which in reference to this verse is "God's inner sanctuary." Only the high priest was allowed to enter once a year and every other person was not permitted to enter...ever. Believers had no direct relationship with God until Christ came along. Christ is with us and with God in heaven always, interceding for us always. Through Christ, God's promise of eternal life and salvation is evident. Because of Christ, God's promises should bring hope to all believers, that he has anchored our souls and hearts to that salvation.

That's enough for me.
