Hebrews 6:18 (NET)
so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.
An anchor is used to keep a vessel stable in the midst of the turbulence it faces on the water. Without the anchor, a vessel will drift away and be lost at sea. The anchor of our faith is our hope which is based on God’s word. When God gives a promise and we believe it, we do so in hope. Faith is a substance of things hoped for (see Hebrews 11:1).
When God called Abraham, there were promises that God gave him upon which his hope was anchored. Abraham had faith in God because he believed God’s promises and continued to walk in hope.
One of the biggest tricks of the devil is to get people to no longer believe in God’s promises. He understands that if people truly believe in the promises of God, they would walk with God and endure to the end.
Do you know that God has promised us that we who believe and abide in the Lord Jesus would inherit all things (see Revelation 21:7)? All things would be ours, including all the millions of billions of galaxies too great in scale for this present human mind to properly comprehend.
There is nothing in this small planet that should be strong enough to shake our faith in the eternal God who has promised us everything.
Go into today remembering that it is God’s good pleasure to give you His eternal kingdom. Any king who has willed his kingdom to you will not withhold anything else from you while you are waiting to receive it.
Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you fulfill your assignments in this side of eternity and be rewarded with true [eternal] riches.
